AMR robots: autonomous mobile robots for UK warehouses and factories
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are driverless robots that map a building and plan their own routes, steering or stopping for people and obstacles, so they can move shelves, carts, totes and pallets with no floor wires, tape or magnets. FlyWei Robotics, SEER Robotics' UK partner, supplies, installs, leases and supports SEER AMRs across the UK, from 150 kg base robots to 3,000 kg pallet AMRs and autonomous forklifts.

The SEER AMR range: warehouse robots from 150 kg to 3,000 kg
Every model below is a SEER robot that FlyWei supplies, installs and supports in the UK. All of them navigate by laser SLAM and run on one fleet manager, so lifting, tote and pallet AMRs can share a site with autonomous forklifts. Loads and lift heights are the datasheet figures on each model page.
Lifting and jacking AMRs
They drive under a mobile shelf, rack or cart, lift it 60 mm and carry it to the next station. Payloads from 300 to 1,000 kg.

All 18 autonomous forklift models, with a side-by-side compare tool, are on the autonomous forklifts page. For racking at the lower beam levels, see autonomous pallet stackers.
AMRs for pallets and totes
Pallets and totes need different machines, and one fleet manager runs them together, so one site can mix them on one map and one traffic plan.
Pallets
The SPT-1000, SFL-CBD15, SFL-CBD20 and SFL-CBD30 pallet AMRs carry 1,000 to 3,000 kg and lift the pallet 190 to 205 mm clear of the floor, enough to move it between docks, production lines and storage lanes.
When the pallet has to go into racking, an autonomous stacker, reach or counterbalance truck does that part of the move. See the autonomous pallet trucks and stackers side by side.
Totes and bins
The SFL-300L and SOF-300EU pick up tote dollies and light shelves up to 300 kg.
Base AMRs take a conveyor or roller top for totes and bins, and jacking AMRs lift mobile shelves and carts from below.
AMRs for line-side delivery in factories
Line-side delivery is the short, repeated run between stores and the production line: parts, kits and bins out to the line, empties and finished goods back. AMRs suit it because the same routes repeat every shift and change when the line changes, and a route change is a software change rather than new floor works.
- Parts and kits on a deck or conveyor topAMB-150 and AMB-300 base AMRs, with a top module fitted to the parts you move.
- Carts and shelves lifted from belowAMB-300JZ and SJV-SW600 jacking AMRs, which drive under the cart and carry it to the line.
- Heavy assembly cartsAMB-1000JS & AMB-500JS jacking AMRs, up to 1,000 kg, for engine, component and assembly carts.

Tasks can come from your ERP or WMS through M4, the same way as in a warehouse.
AMR or AGV: which to choose
Both are driverless. The difference is how the robot knows where it is, and that sets what a route change costs.
AGV
Automated guided vehicle
Follows a fixed guide path, such as a buried wire, magnetic tape or reflectors on walls and racking, and stops when the path is blocked.
Choose it for a simple, fixed, high-volume route in a layout that rarely changes.
AMR
Autonomous mobile robot
Builds a map of the building, plans its own route and re-plans around people and obstacles, so it needs no floor infrastructure.
Choose it when routes, people and layouts change, and a new route should be a software change rather than floor works.
Every SEER model on this page navigates by laser SLAM, the AMR approach, and several can add QR code or reflector positioning at a pick-up point. For the forklift side of the question, read AGV vs autonomous vs manual forklift; for the wider category, read AGV vs AMR.
How FlyWei delivers an AMR project
Six steps take an AMR project from the first site visit to support after go-live.
01
Site survey
We walk your site, measure aisles, doors, floors and racking, and record the loads, routes and volumes you want to automate. The survey is free and carries no obligation.
02
Layout and traffic simulation
We model your layout and run the robot traffic in simulation, so the fleet size, routes and charging points are checked before you commit.
03
Fleet management
Your robots run on M4, SEER's fleet management software, which plans routes, traffic and charging for the whole fleet. M4 supports VDA 5050, so VDA 5050 capable robots from other makers can join the same fleet.
04
WMS or ERP integration
We connect M4 to your WMS or ERP, so the robots take their tasks from the system you already run.
05
Commissioning
We map the building, set the stops, routes and charging points, test with your real loads and train your operators before go-live.
06
Support
The robots carry a 12-month warranty and we support the fleet after go-live. We reply within one business day.

Buy, lease or hire AMRs
The same robots are available three ways, and a written quote follows the free site survey whichever route you take.
Buy
Buy the robots and the fleet software outright, with support agreed alongside. It suits operators who treat automation as a capital purchase.
Lease
Spread the cost over 3, 5 or 7 years, subject to credit approval, with a mixed fleet on one agreement.
Hire
A shorter agreement with the term set per site, for peaks, pilots and customer contracts.

AMR robots: frequently asked questions
What is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR)?
An autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is a driverless robot that builds a map of the building, plans its own route and steers or stops for people and obstacles, so it needs no floor wires, magnetic tape or reflectors. In warehouses and factories AMRs move shelves, carts, totes and pallets between stores, production lines and docks. The SEER AMRs FlyWei supplies run from 150 kg base robots to 3,000 kg pallet AMRs, and every model navigates by laser SLAM.
How much does an AMR cost in the UK?
It depends on the robot, the site and the integration. A light base AMR and a heavy pallet AMR are different machines, the number of robots comes from your volumes and routes, and connecting the fleet to your WMS or ERP is part of the work. FlyWei does not publish prices: we start with a free site survey and then send a written quote. You can buy the robots outright, lease them subject to credit approval, or hire them.
Can AMRs move pallets and totes?
Yes. The SPT-1000, SFL-CBD15, SFL-CBD20 and SFL-CBD30 pallet AMRs carry 1,000 to 3,000 kg and lift the pallet 190 to 205 mm clear of the floor. For totes and bins, the SFL-300L and SOF-300EU carry tote dollies and light shelves up to 300 kg, and base AMRs take a conveyor or roller top. When a pallet has to go into racking, an autonomous stacker, reach or counterbalance truck does that part of the move, and all of them run in one fleet.
Do AMRs need floor markings?
Not to navigate. SEER AMRs navigate by laser SLAM, from a map of the walls, racking and other fixed features, so there are no wires, magnetic tape or reflectors to install. Some models can add QR code or reflector positioning where a site wants extra precision at a pick-up or drop-off point. The site survey also looks at where people and robots share aisles, so you can decide whether any walkway markings or signs are needed.
Can AMRs work with our WMS?
Yes. The fleet runs on M4, SEER's fleet management software, which connects to warehouse management (WMS), warehouse control (WCS) and ERP systems by API, so the robots take their tasks from the system you already run. FlyWei sets up the connection, agrees the data that passes each way and tests it during commissioning. M4 also supports VDA 5050, the open standard that lets robots from different makers share one fleet manager.
AMR or AGV: which should we choose?
Choose an AGV for a simple, fixed, high-volume route in a layout that rarely changes, and an AMR when routes, people and layouts change. An AGV (automated guided vehicle) follows a fixed path such as a buried wire, magnetic tape or reflectors, and stops when the path is blocked. An AMR maps the building and re-plans around obstacles, so a new route is a software change rather than floor works. The SEER models FlyWei supplies navigate by laser SLAM, the AMR approach.
Can we lease AMRs?
Yes. FlyWei leases AMRs over 3, 5 or 7 years, subject to credit approval. You can also buy the robots outright, or hire them on a shorter term agreed per site, for example for a peak, a pilot or a customer contract. The free site survey and written quote cover whichever route you choose.
