FlexQube is granted an additional patent for AMR Navigator

One additional patent application regarding FlexQube´s unique AMR system (“Autonomous Mobile Robot”), FlexQube Navigator, will be granted in the United States.

The referred patent is of conceptual nature and is focusing on the principle to have a small and “non load carrying” AMR that navigates motorized load carriers through a standard coupling. Previously approved patents had a clear focus on the technology how to realize this principle, for example lifting up the AMR to make it non load carrying.

The patent is a great complement to already approved patents and will give a strong protection in the United States which is FlexQubes core market.

Corresponding patent applications are also pending in Canada, Europe, South Korea, Japan, Mexico, China and India.

As previously informed FlexQube has additional patents been granted in the United States, Canada, Europe, Turkey and China.

Per Augustsson, commercial product owner AMR, comments:
“This is an important patent for FlexQube, since it provides a broad and strong conceptual protection for our Navigator AMR concept. This patent was filed already back in 2018 when the development of our Navigator AMR started. The major customer value with the Navigator AMR system is the flexibility of having a small and standardized AMR that navigates motorized load carriers with different size and shape.  Through this patent we will gain a strong protection that will limit other players in the market to make a “non load carrying” robot that is smaller than the load carrier itself, which is a key feature with the unique FlexQube AMR system.”
