(Adept Technology: Pleasonton, CA) -- Adept Technology Inc., designer and manufacturer of intelligent vision-guided robotics systems and autonomous mobile solutions, has announced the launch of the new Adept Courier, a groundbreaking approach to automating the movement of goods.

The Adept Courier is a small autonomous vehicle that simplifies the everyday task of moving goods, materials, samples, or parts around an office or production environment. Using self-navigation software, the Adept Courier finds its own way to destinations, drives around obstacles in its path, and can be deployed in a matter of hours. These features help deliver impressive returns on invested capital while requiring no modifications to an existing facility.

The Courier can be requested from a wireless call box located at operator stations and dispatched using preprogrammed destination buttons located on the vehicle. The Adept Courier robustly packages the latest technology from more than 15 years of robotics research and software deployment to satisfy nonlinear material handling requirements by simply driving itself between various locations within any type of facility.
