- Unveiled at a world preview at Modex, America’s main supply chain tradeshow currently underway in Atlanta, Piaggio Kilo is a hands-free robotic flat bed with a payload of up to 130 kg.
- Fitted with the innovative package of sensors and 4D radar imaging developed by PFF, it can follow the operator, move autonomously, and travel along more than 100 paths stored in memory.
- Kilo is designed to work alongside humans, enabling users to move materials naturally and reducing the risk of injury. It marks the introduction of PFF’s Travel on Known Paths autonomous behaviour software.
- The Kilo platform is highly customisable: it can be outfitted with industry or facility specific carts or shelving, ensuring the right configuration for any job. PFF Pro tools mobile app also allows robot fleet management.
- As part of the modernization project at the production facility in Mandello del Lario, the Piaggio Group plans to integrate the Kilo robot on the new Moto Guzzi production lines to assist operator manoeuvres.
- Piaggio Kilo will subsequently be introduced into the production facilities in Italy, India, Vietnam and Indonesia. Kilo expands the Piaggio Fast Forward robot range, joining the gita® and gitamini® terrestrial drones.
