Autonomous mobile robots are playing an active role in many parts of society.
It has become an increasingly common sight to see robots working autonomously in various facilities such as airports, restaurants, and hospitals, performing tasks such as cleaning, serving food, security, and disinfection.
Demand for these autonomous mobile robots, which can replace human labor, is expected to increase in various areas of society in the future due to labor shortages.
As a partner to manufacturers, OMRON stands ready to support this demand by supplying components that control autonomous mobile robots.
OMRON's electronic mechanical components support the control of autonomous mobile robots
（1）For control of batteries, motors, charging facilities, and for emergency DC shutdown
DC power relays are recommended for emergency shutdown of power supplies (battery and charging systems) and running motors.

＊1. TOF (Time of Flight) sensors are sensors that measure the distance to an object by measuring the flight time of light.
（4） For connection with external (upper) on-board equipment
Push-in terminal block connectors, which are resistant to vibration and easy to operate and maintain, are recommended for connection (power and signal) to the attachments on autonomous mobile robots.
