Getting started with a new technology is often challenging. First, you have to search for information, study documentation, and learn new programming languages. Only after many hours—or even days—do the first small successes usually appear.

Robotics is no different. It often takes days or even weeks before a robot moves for the very first time.

With the owlRobotics Kit, our owlCore Software Framework, and our AI-powered development portal, this process changes completely.

Instead of starting from scratch, you begin with a powerful robotics platform that already provides the essential building blocks. Modern AI helps you develop new features, generate code, analyze errors, and extend existing applications.

You don't need to be an expert in C++, Python, or ROS to get a robot moving. Great ideas and natural language are enough to describe what you want your robot to do. Based on the owlCore framework, the AI generates the required software. You simply test the result, provide feedback, and the AI continuously improves the application together with you.

This allows functional robot applications to be created in a very short time. Even advanced projects using cameras, LiDAR, GPS, or other sensors can be implemented significantly faster than with traditional development methods. Projects that once required months of development can often be completed in just a few days.

For those who want to dive deeper into software development, the platform offers even more value. The AI explains the generated code, answers questions, and helps users understand how everything works. It becomes not only a development assistant but also a personal tutor.

This enables mechanics, electricians, designers, students, educators, and makers to transform their ideas into intelligent robots—without first becoming robotics or software experts.

The focus is not on learning to program—it is on turning ideas into intelligent robots using AI and the owlCore Software Framework.

The FollowMe concept by owlRobotics provides an innovative solution for material flow in warehouses and production environments.

In the warehouse, required parts are picked and loaded directly into the containers of a FollowMe unit that autonomously follows the employee. This eliminates the need to manually pull or push transport carts, while keeping both hands freefor the actual picking process.

After several material units have been prepared, multiple FollowMe vehicles can be arranged into a convoy.
This convoy can then be guided through the production area by just one employee and delivered to the required assembly stations.
In the future, this material supply process is planned to be handled fully autonomously by the robots.

At the assembly line, the FollowMe units are positioned exactly where the material is needed.
The robot can continue to follow the operator directly – a major advantage especially in large production areas where unnecessary walking distances would otherwise consume time.

This creates clear benefits:

• One employee can supply multiple workstations at the same time
• Several FollowMe units automatically move in convoy
• Reduced walking distances and lower labor effort
• Material available directly at the line or assembly station
• Flexible supply without fixed conveyor systems
• Scalable for different production sizes

In short:
One employee controls the material flow – the FollowMe convoy handles the transport.

A mobile assistant robot for assembly and logistics, featuring a modular carrier structure for material boxes, tools, or bins used for order picking. This configuration demonstrates one possible use case of how employees in warehouses, workshops, or production environments can be supported in their daily work – flexibly, mobile, and without complicated operation.

Operation Without Additional Technology

A key development principle of the FollowMe Robot is simplicity: the user should not need any additional technology to control the robot.

No app, no tablet, no remote control.

Operation is direct and intuitive through:

• Gesture control – simple hand signals for start, stop, or follow
• Foot switch – a robust control option for industrial environments
• Automatic person detection for the FollowMe principle

This keeps the focus on the actual work – not on the technology.

Mobile Support for Order Picking

In warehouse environments, the FollowMe Robot can accompany employees directly and take over transport tasks. While items are picked or sorted, the robot automatically moves along and keeps the bins within easy reach.

This creates a mobile workstation directly in the warehouse aisle.

Benefits:

• reduced walking distances
• faster picking processes
• both hands free for work
• improved ergonomics
• intuitive operation with minimal training required

Material and Tool Carrier for Assembly Stations

The robot is also ideal for use in production as an intelligent material cart. Tools, screws, components, or consumables can be transported directly to the workstation and made available where needed.

Especially in dynamic production environments, ease of use is essential – particularly when different employees work with the system.

Modular Concept

The shown setup is modular and can be adapted to different requirements:

• bin systems for order picking
• tool holders
• material transport
• custom application-specific configurations

Outlook

The FollowMe Robot represents a practical form of robotics: technology that works in the background and adapts to people – not the other way around.

Easy to operate, ready to use, and delivering real added value in everyday industrial work.
