SR-Mobile

Modern Safety for Modern Automation

​

SR-Mobile applies SR-1 technology to mobile platforms so safety travels with the robot. It’s built for AMRs with mounted arms, where the hazard zone moves with the system and people share the same space.

​

What SR-Mobile is

​

SR-Mobile is a mobile-ready safety system that brings SR-1’s 3D sensing and software-defined safety zones onto AMRs with integrated manipulators. It’s designed to detect people around the active work envelope and drive predictable safety behavior as the AMR and arm move through real operations.

Who it’s for

​

SR-Mobile fits teams that need mobile manipulation without turning operations into restricted corridors:

• AMR and robot OEMs building repeatable safety into mobile platforms

• Integrators deploying AMRs with arms in active production environments

• EHS and plant leaders who need predictable behavior and validation-ready deployment discipline

The problem SR-Mobile solves

​

Mobile manipulators change the safety model. The risk is not tied to a fixed cell—it moves with the AMR and the arm. In real facilities, that means:

​

• People approach from any direction

• Aisles and staging areas change daily

• Obstructions create occlusions and unpredictable triggers

• Navigation behavior can’t substitute for safety behavior

SR-Mobile supports a consistent safety design that matches how mobile manipulation actually operates.

How SR-Mobile works

​

SR-Mobile uses 3D sensing and software-defined zones to model the active area around the AMR and mounted arm. You define safety zones and behaviors based on your risk assessment. When someone enters a defined zone, SR-Mobile drives the required safety outputs so the system can reduce speed or stop in a predictable way.

​

Key capabilities

​

• Safety that travels with the AMR to protect the moving work envelope

• 3D sensing for real environments with changing layouts and frequent occlusions

• Software-defined zones aligned to your operating modes and tasks

• Predictable safety outputs designed to fit standard safety architectures

• Diagnostics and event visibility to support commissioning and troubleshooting

Programs and development support

​

SR-Mobile is supported by:

​

• A DoD SBIR grant focused on mobile safety

• An ARM Institute grant on a joint project with Boeing

​

Common applications

​

• AMRs with mounted arms handling materials, kitting, and machine tending

• Mobile manipulation in mixed-traffic areas where people and vehicles share space

• Operations that change frequently and need safety that adapts without constant rebuilds
