SwarmRail: A Novel Overhead Robot System for Indoor Transport

SwarmRail represents a novel solution to overhead manipulation from a mobile unit that drives in an above ground rail-structure. The concept is based on the combination of omnidirectional mobile platform and L-shaped rail profiles that form a through-going central gap. This gap makes possible mounting a robotic manipulator arm overhead at the underside of the mobile platform. Compared to existing solutions, SwarmRail enables continuous overhead manipulation while traversing rail
