ABB Launches a Compact AI-powered AMR

ABB strengthens its leadership in AI-powered autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with the launch of the Flexley Mover® P603 — its most compact model capable of handling payloads up to 1,500 kg. Designed to enhance intralogistics efficiency, the P603 combines a space-saving design with advanced AI-based Visual SLAM navigation and the latest AMR Studio® software. This software enables seamless integration of various modules, offering maximum flexibility.

The P603 is part of ABB’s vision for Autonomous Versatile Robotics, allowing robots to easily switch between tasks in real time with minimal effort. Thanks to its AI-driven Visual SLAM navigation, the P603 delivers high agility, speed, and safety (meeting ISO 3691-4 and ANSI 56.5 standards) with industry-leading positioning accuracy of ±5 mm — all without needing reflectors or infrastructure changes. Its differential bidirectional drive ensures smooth movement in tight spaces, and integrated load detection enhances stability and safety during transport.

With its compact and agile design, the P603 is ideal for intralogistics applications such as end-of-line handling, goods-to-robot transfers, line supply, inter-process connections, and kitting. It supports a wide range of load types and dimensions — including pallets, containers, racks, and trolleys — using a single AMR with flexible top module configurations.

Built for modularity, the P603 can be quickly adapted with different top modules to handle various loads. The upgraded AMR Studio® software allows easy setup and customization using drag-and-drop tools and no-code mission programming, reducing commissioning time by up to 20%. Integrated Fleet Manager software lets users coordinate multiple AMRs in real time across large, dynamic environments.

Smart, efficient navigation
The P603 navigates autonomously using AI-powered Visual SLAM without physical guides, allowing it to operate in changing industrial spaces. Its advanced suspension system allows smooth travel even on uneven floors, and Center of Gravity monitoring further enhances load stability. With a top speed of 2 m/s and round-the-clock operation, the P603 is 10% faster than average SLAM-based AMRs.

ABB plans to continue integrating its precision hardware with advanced AI and software to achieve even greater levels of autonomy and versatility in robotics.
