Modular Panels, Fewer Variants

Modular panels improved access and troubleshooting, while identical front-rear and left-right panels reduced part variants and simplified manufacturing.

Accessible Emergency Stop

The emergency switch was placed at an angle for easy access and can also be operated by foot when needed.

Speaker as an Identity

The speaker grille was integrated into the front design, making it part of the AMR’s visual identity.
