Mobile Manipulation
Industry Leading Runtime & Developer Platform for Robots with Wheels
Free your robots from fixed work cells
Mobile manipulators combine the versatility of robot arms with the mobility of AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) or AGVs (autonomous ground vehicles) to offer unmatched flexibility and efficiency in performing tasks.
MoveIt Pro provides out-of-the-box mobile manipulation capabilities so your engineering team can deploy highly-dynamic robots that aren’t restricted to a single fixed location.
Supporting Both Types
of Mobile Manipulation
Base Navigation + Manipulation
Plan and execute the mobile base separate from the robot arm, coming to a complete and safe stop before un-parking the robotic manipulator. Ideal for moving across large environments while safely avoiding obstacles.
Whole Body Planning
Plan and execute the movement of the mobile base with one or more robot arms at the same time, to achieve faster cycle time, operate in tight spaces, or use lower DOF arms while maintaining a large workspace. Not ideal for navigating large distances due to computational complexity.
Advanced Mobile Manipulation Capabilities
- Supports both differential drive and holonomic wheels.
- Integrates directly with navigation frameworks to detect and avoid obstacles with dynamic planning.
- Increases robot reachability by adding additional degrees of freedom.
- Uses the latest AI/ML approaches for advanced path planning and collision avoidance.
- Includes automatic fault recovery and error detection.
Extensible and Customizable
With the MoveIt Pro Developer Platform, customize your multi-arm solution to your precise needs using pre-built skills & behaviors, or custom C++ and Python extensions. This allows you to achieve the ideal blend of quick prototypes and tailored solutions.
How We’re Different
Avoid vendor lock-in with a hardware agnostic approach
Any Brand of Arm
Bring your favorite COTS arm, or build a custom arm to fit your needs. A ROS driver is all that’s needed.
Any End Effector
Our algorithms currently support both vacuum picking as well as 2-finger end effectors, but anything is possible.
Any Depth Camera
Can be used with most brands of 3D depth sensor cameras. Intel Realsense is our affordable favorite.
Any Linear Rail or AMR
Increase your robot arm’s reachable workspace by adding additional DOF or a mobile base.
* Support for some types of hardware may require additional ROS development or fees.
Commercial Grade
Fast to Deploy
Our drag and drop user interface and automatic path generation approach reduces setup time. Our software can optionally be configured and diagnosed remotely through the internet, minimizing travel time.
Blazing Fast Cycle Times
We've optimized our motion controllers to automatically generate near-optimal trajectories while navigating environmental constraints and avoiding collisions.
Reliable
PickNik has been deploying advanced manipulation for the past 8 years, including for NASA and many surgical robotics companies. Leverage our commercial-grade software to address most common pain points.
