AMR Jobot
Autonomous Mobile Robots for small loads
Jobot: the affordable AMR, designed and built in Italy, for handling small loads
Jobot® is the result of a partnership between Eutronica and several partners in the automation and robotics world. The robotic handling system, based on ROS (Robot Operating System), was developed in collaboration with Proxima Robotics. Eureka System developed the industrial fleet management software for Jobot, the Fleet Management System NAVARCO.
Jobot is a compact and efficient collaborative mobile robot designed to be economically affordable. It moves within programmed routes, performing simple transportation tasks from loading and unloading stations to work centres. Jobot reduces the time it takes people to move around and the time spent waiting for materials, components, and support equipment needed to advance or start production processes. Moreover, this practical AMR makes the best use of your existing layout, as it does not require any changes to the working environment. Jobot enables rapid efficiency improvements in indoor material handling and is the optimal and flexible solution for any organisation wishing to automate low-value-added tasks.
Starting from Jobot’s software platform, Eureka System and the two partner companies developed the AMR Helko, a Truck Robot, i.e. a mobile robot that acts as a truck that can pull industrial carts or workbenches up to 250 kg.
Jobot® architecture is designed to optimise energy consumption, contain costs, and be durable
Jobot® for Sanitisation: the AMR can be equipped with UV-C technology to sanitise rooms, equipment and objects automatically

Integration, configurability and customisation
Jobot® is customisable in its accessories to ensure that each company can optimally configure the AMRs in its fleet.
Jobots can also be interfaced with MES/MOM, ERP, or WMS systems via Restful or SQL. They can also be interfaced with other systems, sensors, automatic doors, and lifts to carry out transport or sanitisation missions on several floors.
Do you need a mobile robot to perform particular tasks? Together, we can create the ideal fleet configuration for your company.
Efficiency and reliability of Jobot fleets
Adopting a fleet of mobile robots exponentially increases savings and better supports your indoor logistics operations.
The server manages the simultaneous demand for several missions in large working environments through a logic that optimises all available robots’ routes and utilisation times.
NAVARCO‘s fleet management algorithms optimise resource utilisation by optimally managing communication between the different robots and the queues of required missions.
Autonomous navigation
The AMR’s navigation software maps the environment in which the robot is operating.
Thanks to maps acquired during installation and the information resulting from the continuous monitoring of contingent situations, Jobot® can recognise its own position and potentially dangerous situations and process the most suitable actions (from stopping to taking alternative routes) accordingly.
Equipment
- Laser scanner
- Integrated camera
- Encoders on the drive wheels
- Anti-falling sensors
No need to install rails, physical guides or wiring
It is ideal for working in complex environments, such as situations where an autonomously guided mobile robot can be a real advantage for the human workforce.
The navigation software with which Jobot® is equipped enables it to recognise its surroundings, avoid unexpected obstacles, calculate optimal routes, and recalculate alternative routes in real time.
During installation, you define rules and constraints that Jobot will respect when processing its movements.
Endless Jobot possibilities
Jobot® performs an elementary function: transporting objects autonomously.
Its missions can be carried from one point to another in almost any indoor working environment.
Any operator can be enabled to assign missions to Jobot.
Within the allowed range of weights and shapes, Jobot can carry out missions of any nature, directly or indirectly supporting production in any manufacturing or service company.
By performing an elementary function, its possibilities for use are virtually endless.
The most suitable containment system can be chosen based on the type of objects to be moved. Furthermore, the AMR can be equipped with a powerful UV-C lamp to completely automate the sanitisation of environments.
Technical features
Jobot weight: approx. 35 kg
Transportable load: 30 kg ~ 50 kg
Maximum gradeability: 8%
High levels of autonomy
A power-optimised design gives Jobot® the ability to work continuously for a full shift (10 hours, 50% duty cycle).
The CPU board has a specific circuit and firmware to monitor the battery’s charge status in order to estimate the remaining autonomy as accurately as possible.
Transportation time reduced by 80%
Jobot® saves your employees time. By scaling the Jobot fleet appropriately, the time usually spent travelling can be reduced by up to 80%. All operators who need to receive or send something to someone at a given location can request Jobot’s intervention instead of physically moving.
Mission optimisation algorithms allow the most significant possible reduction in overall travel time.
The system collects and processes all operating data to improve the company fleet’s performance. Jobot can record two categories of data: those relating to typical work performance and those about unexpected events and issues. This system also provides a remote support service to optimise the fleet’s performance.
Easy installation
Jobot’s installation involves scanning the working environment, a digital map processing phase, and defining layout constraints, movement rules, and notable points within the environment that may constitute mission starting points or destinations.
In the case of large environments, map acquisition can be carried out in parallel by a fleet of Jobots.
