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

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

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

MoveIt Pro works with any brand of robot hardware or sensor - only ROS compatibility required.
