An automatic trolley of its own design has begun to be operated in the assembly shop of the Chepetsky Mechanical Plant (ChMZ, part of the Rosatom Fuel Division). It is used to deliver goods weighing up to 35 kg. This was reported by the company's press service.
It is important for us that qualified workers are not distracted by unnecessary movements, such as the delivery of tooling, tools, and documentation around the site.
The robot trolley delivers technical equipment, documents and other goods. The device was designed by a team from ChMZ, the Glazov Technical College (GTC) and Grinatom.
The developers drew a red line on the floor of the workshop. Using a camera, the robot reads the identification line and follows it from point A to point B.
ChMZ stated that their robot trolley is dozens of times cheaper than analogues. For example, the cost of foreign devices starts from 1.5 million rubles. The plant team spent only 45 thousand rubles on their robot, while 70% of its components are Russian.
