本文介紹了自主移動機器人聯盟(Autonomous Mobile Robot Alliance, AMRA)成立的源起,也說明了AMRA運作的方式,最後介紹了標準制定方式與目前第一個正式標準AMRA-201:2021。AMRA透過制定與推動產業有共識的性能規格標準、安全標準、通訊協定標準等,以支持優秀自主移動機器人產品,協助使用者可以更有效地選用到這類優良產品;同時也透過標準化介面來協助產業垂直分工,進而促成自主移動機器人產業生態圈更健全的發展。AMRA每個月持續有新的國內外業者申請加入,未來將完成AMRA-220與AMRA-271標準的正式公開,以促進自主移動機器人產業的良性發展。
This article introduces the founding of Autonomous Mobile Robot Alliance (AMRA) and explains how AMRA operates. The article also briefly introduces AMRA’s first published official standard, AMRA-201:2021 Mobile Robot General Requirements and Testing Methods. AMRA encourages good AMR products and assists AMR end-users to access these products more effectively by developing AMR industry consented performance specification standard, safety requirement standard, and communication protocol standard. These standards also help enable AMR industry to achieve vertical collaboration and integration as a whole, thus improving the development of a more complete and healthy AMR industry ecosystem. Currently, AMRA receives membership applications every month from both Taiwan and international AMR related companies. AMRA and its partners will strive to complete the development of AMRA-220 and AMRA-271 standards and publish them to facilitate healthy development of AMR industry.
