About Seegrid Corporation

Seegrid (www.seegrid.com) brings a new class of affordable industrial mobile
robots
to the material handling industry that operate reliably and safely in dynamic
warehouse, distribution and manufacturing environments. Seegrid's robots differ
from
today's AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) in that the company's IMR
technology is the first to provide early stage capabilities of autonomous robot
behavior with Sense, Move, Analyze, Interact and Repeat capabilities. The result
-- AGV-like competence but with greater flexibility at a considerably lower
cost. IMR-enabled robots provide WalkThroughThenWork(TM) capabilities, providing
an operator with the ability to simply and easily instruct the robot along a
desired path, adding behaviors such as horns and stop stations, usually in
minutes.Seegrid robots literally come straight off the truck, an operator
quickly inputs
the path and the robot is immediately productive.
