ORMi, by Active8 Robots, comprises three mobile robot platforms each in either 24V or 48V. The ORMi family has been specially designed to take the hard work out of AGV, AMR and AIV development, so you can go from build-to-bot fast.
The time-consuming tasks normally associated with sourcing components, determining compatibility, configuring hardware and programming software has been taken care of by us, for you.
Mobile robot design has never been made easier!
Ready-to-assemble component kit
A comprehensive and fully compatible range of the fundamental components required to build your mobile robot from scratch. All parts are selected, tried and tested by our engineers for performance and reliability.
Pre-assembled & pre-wired component kit
A part-built unit comprising ORMi KIT with additional mechanical and electrical components all pre-wired and mounted onto a stainless steel baseplate by our engineers, all set for you to continue the build and integrate with your own chassis.
Built & configured functioning unit
A mobile unit comprising ORMi WIRED fixed to a robust aluminium chassis with servo motors, mounting brackets, batteries and wheels with options for all payloads up to 2000kg. A ready-to-GO platform primed by our engineers.
CE Marked engineered system & accompanying training program
Need a complete solution? For more demanding or complex projects we can design, build and configure a complete system to match your exacting specification. We will also deliver a comprehensive training program covering all aspects of safety, operation and maintenance.
Product Brochure
The ORMi family is a flagship innovation for AMR, AGV and AIV development. Here are just a few reasons why you should go ORMi.
LOW COST
Save tens of thousands of pounds on a mobile robot with a low capital outlay compared to buying an off-the-shelf product.
TIME SAVING
Gain weeks or months to spend on the development work that really matters instead of wasting valuable time on mundane tasks.
CUSTOMISABLE
Adapt your ORMi to meet the specific needs of your application and to overcome any unexpected challenges.
LOW RISK
Build up your mobile robotics R&D knowledge and expertise, economically, in a market where experience is in short supply.
COMPATIBLE
Build-a-bot with tried and tested industry proven parts that you know are going to work together seamlessly.
TECH MADE EASY
Simplify the complex with just one controller, which can be operated from practically anything - PLC, joystick and radio controls, push buttons etc.
CONVENIENT
Choose which stage of the development process is best for you to start from with three options from the ORMi family.
EASY TO INTEGRATE
Ease the coding process with a powerful setup and monitoring PC utility, sample scripts, APIs, ROS drivers and simulator.
PEACE OF MIND
Benefit from our free technical advisory service where help is always on hand to keep your project on track and in budget.
Product Brochure
ORMi is commonly used for industry 4.0 initiatives and lean transformation. For example, a tugger for the high-volume repetitive movement of goods or a reach truck for lifting or lowering heavy loads in confined spaces.
ORMi can also be used in specialist applications such as a danger detection tool in zones with no existing guiding infrastructure or as a moving platform for laser scanning. ORMi can be developed into any number of permutations and can handle both light-duty and heavy-duty tasks.
- AIV (Autonomous Intelligent Vehicle)
- AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle)
- AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot)
- UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle)
- Unmanned combat robot
- Automated pallet truck
- Automated reach truck
- Automated stacker
Performance data comparison
Additional items that you might need to complete your project will vary according to the performance criteria of the intended application. For example, a UVC disinfection unit will require a lamp whereas a bomb defusing unmanned ground vehicle may require haptic feedback functionality. Some of the more basic factors to consider when designing your mobile robot include the following.
Power
Battery type, size and capacity will differ according to your ORMi’s appetite for power and whether it will be fully charged overnight or micro-charged in between jobs. Consideration should also be given to the docking station network if there is a need to have more than one.
Navigation
If your ORMi’s development path is the AGV route, it might need tape for magnetic navigation or reflectors for laser guided navigation. If it is the AMR route, then cameras, laser scanners and software all might be on the to-buy list. All variations will require sensors.
Chassis
Our engineers can design and build a custom chassis if required. Moving small parts from one workstation to the next may only need a lightweight construction yet handling volatile substances in a hostile environment will need something more robust.
Safety
Whatever your mobile robot form (AGV, AMR, AIV, UGV etc), it will need an appropriate system that meets the relevant standards and complies with any applicable regulatory requirements. This may comprise both active safety elements e.g. pressure sensors, and passive devices e.g. audible alarms.
Software
The ORMi family comes with software comprising PC utilities, simulators, tools, APIs and drivers that allows you to customise functionality using basic language scripts. For more complex applications, or if you want a more user-friendly interface, you may consider alternative software architecture.
Special Parts
The ORMi family has been designed such that it provides a standard development platform, not a finished mobile robot. This gives the designer the freedom and flexibility to design and build a specialised AMR, AGV or AIV, which may require non-standard parts for example, bespoke robotic arm tooling.
Our online retail partner, Active Robots Ltd, stocks a wide range of additional parts
