What is it?
The OTTO 100 is the smallest AMR in the OTTO Motors fleet, designed for material transport tasks in confined manufacturing and warehouse environments. It carries up to 100kg and navigates dynamically using natural features of the facility without requiring floor modifications or infrastructure tags.
Who is it for?
Manufacturing operations with narrow aisles, tight production cells, or areas where larger AMRs cannot operate. Facilities with mixed human-robot workflows requiring dynamic obstacle avoidance. Operations automating light material delivery between workstations, assembly cells, and storage areas.
Key specs
- Payload: 100 kg
- Navigation: Natural feature SLAM (no infrastructure modification)
- Speed: Up to 1.8 m/s
- Footprint: Compact — suited to tight spaces
- Safety: ISO 3691-4 compliant
- Integration: OTTO Fleet Manager software
- Power: Lithium-ion with opportunity charging
- Origin: Canada
OTTO natural feature navigation
OTTO AMRs use simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) based on laser scanners reading the natural geometry of the facility. No QR codes, reflectors, magnetic strips, or floor modifications are required. The fleet learns the facility layout and updates dynamically as the environment changes.
How it compares
The OTTO 100 competes with MiR100 (now MiR250), Fetch Robotics Cart Connect, and Locus Robotics Origin in the compact manufacturing AMR segment. OTTO's strength is its industrial-grade build quality and integration with larger OTTO fleet platforms for unified multi-payload fleet management.
Limitations
- 100kg payload limits to lighter material transport tasks
- Natural feature navigation requires adequate feature-rich environment geometry
- Fleet management software investment required for multi-robot deployment
- Less suited to very high-throughput logistics versus conveyor-based systems
FAQ
Does OTTO 100 require floor markings or QR codes?
No. OTTO 100 uses natural feature SLAM navigation based on laser scanners reading the facility's existing geometry. No floor modifications, QR codes, magnetic strips, or reflectors are required.
What can OTTO 100 carry?
OTTO 100 carries up to 100kg — suitable for components, parts bins, light material totes, and supply carts in manufacturing and warehouse environments.
How does OTTO 100 fit with OTTO 600 and OTTO 1500?
OTTO 100, 600, and 1500 are managed through the same OTTO Fleet Manager software, enabling a single unified fleet of different payload-capacity AMRs to operate in the same facility with coordinated task allocation.
Who manufactures OTTO Motors robots?
OTTO Motors is a division of Clearpath Robotics, which was acquired by Rockwell Automation in 2023. OTTO AMRs are manufactured in Canada and sold globally through Rockwell Automation's distribution network.
