ABB Robotics’ autonomous mobile robot wins prestigious design award

ABB Robotics’ Flexley Mover P603 autonomous cell robotic (AMR) has received the iF Design Award 2026 within the Business, Instruments and Equipment Product Design class, based mostly on its compact design, clever navigation and potential to rework efficiency in intralogistics functions.

Alfonso González, world AMR product line supervisor of ABB Robotics, says: “The Flexley Mover P603 is the newest step in ABB Robotics’ strategy to autonomous, software-driven intralogistics automation, the place machines can function independently whereas working seamlessly alongside folks and different programs.

“This award acknowledges not solely the energy of the design, but additionally how we’re decreasing the limitations to automation via extra autonomous and versatile robotics (AVRTM) that may do extra issues, in additional locations, and do it sooner, safer and smarter.”

The P603 was chosen by judges for its mixture of good engineering, clever software program and autonomous performance in a single answer.

Its navigation system, AI-powered by ABB Robotics’ Visible SLAM know-how, allows exact motion with out the necessity for fastened infrastructure, which hurries up commissioning by up 20 p.c, in comparison with different navigation programs, and makes it much less advanced.


A compact footprint permits it to function effectively in space-constrained environments, whereas built-in load sensing ensures the secure dealing with of a great deal of as much as 1500 kg.

Collectively, these capabilities give producers a flexible, future-ready answer that streamlines materials move and helps fast adaptation to altering manufacturing wants.

Launched in 2025, the Flexley Mover P603 is designed to spice up output and enhance materials move whereas lowering setup time and infrastructure necessities.

Its fast set up and talent to function in dynamic environments make it properly suited to services trying to modernize operations with out disruption.
