The future of material handling is autonomous!
The OTTO 100 is a powerful autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that gives students access to the same smart logistics technology used in advanced manufacturing and distribution environments. Loaded up with smart sensors and navigation tools, powered by intelligent fleet management software, and with capabilities to integrate with other automation technologies, the OTTO 100 teaches core principles of automation, robotics, logistics, and Industry 4.0.
Backed by parent company Rockwell Automation – this global leader in industrial automation is the perfect fit for any industrial technology program preparing students for careers in automation and Industry 4.0.
Learning Outcomes
Autonomous Navigation
Students will explore how AMRs move through dynamic environments using LiDAR, cameras, and onboard sensors. They’ll learn path planning, map creation, and how obstacle avoidance keeps robots safe around people.
Industrial Robotics Programming
Learners will configure AMRs for specific tasks, manage routes, and define operating zones using OTTO’s intuitive software. This includes exposure to API-based controls and real-time workflow adjustments.
Smart Logistics & Material Handling
Students will examine how AMRs improve supply chain operations. They’ll model pick-up/drop-off tasks, analyze throughput efficiency, and design layouts for optimized goods movement.
Fleet Management & Systems Integration
OTTO Fleet Manager offers a gateway into Industry 4.0. Students will manage multiple robots, assign workflows, monitor performance data, and simulate real-world plant operations.
Safety & Compliance
Learners will study the standards and protocols that govern human-robot interaction, from sensor-based collision prevention to zone-based permissions and safe stop functions.
Cross-Disciplinary Skills
The OTTO 100 introduces concepts in industrial automation, systems thinking, IoT, and digital manufacturing—making it valuable for students in engineering, robotics, logistics, and computer science.
Instructor Resources & Training
Instructor training and support are available through OTTO, with onboarding training options, as well as videos and support documentation.
