Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) :: Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for Industrial & Commercial Applications

Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) is a Danish company and a global leader in Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for industrial and commercial applications. Founded in 2013 in Odense, Denmark, MiR revolutionized intralogistics by introducing flexible, collaborative, and easy-to-deploy mobile robots that work safely alongside humans without the need for fixed infrastructure like magnetic tapes or wires. In 2018, the company was acquired by Teradyne, a U.S.-based automation leader, which has supported its rapid international expansion. Today, MiR has a strong global presence with offices in over 20 countries and thousands of robots deployed across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and healthcare facilities worldwide.

MiR specializes in flexible internal logistics automation. Its robots are designed to transport materials, tools, and goods efficiently in dynamic environments. Unlike traditional Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), MiR’s AMRs use advanced navigation technology (SLAM – Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) that allows them to map their surroundings and adapt routes in real time, making them ideal for changing layouts and high-variability operations.

Key Robot-Based Products:

• MiR250: A compact, highly maneuverable robot with a 250 kg payload capacity. It is ideal for tight spaces and light-to-medium transport tasks.
• MiR500: A mid-range robot offering a 500 kg payload. It balances size, power, and flexibility for a wide variety of industrial applications.
• MiR1000 and MiR1350: High-capacity models designed for heavy loads up to 1,350 kg. These are commonly used for pallet transport, towing carts, and moving large components in manufacturing environments.
• MiR Go: A user-friendly fleet management and mission planning software that allows operators to easily program, monitor, and optimize robot fleets. It supports integration with existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms.

MiR robots feature advanced safety systems (compliant with ISO 3691-4), obstacle avoidance, and the ability to operate 24/7. They can be equipped with various top modules such as shelves, conveyors, lifts, and collaborative arms for specialized tasks. The company continues to invest in AI enhancements, fleet intelligence, and seamless integration with broader automation ecosystems.

MiR stands out for its ease of deployment, scalability, and strong focus on collaborative robotics that augment human workers rather than replace them. Its solutions deliver measurable ROI through reduced labor costs, improved material flow, and increased operational agility.
