When Logistics Meets AI: How Smart Imaging Is Powering the Next Generation of Autonomous Robots

Modern logistics is under pressure: faster delivery expectations, increasingly complex supply chains, and a shortage of skilled labor are pushing the need for intelligent automation. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are no longer just a concept – they’re transforming warehouses and logistics centers.

But how can these robots navigate dynamic environments safely and efficiently, especially at speeds exceeding 10 meters per second?

• At ImagingNext 2025, Dr.-Ing. Moritz Roidl will take you inside a topic that’s redefining logistics: AI-powered imaging for high-performance AMRs.

From Research to Real-World Logistics: How AI Turns Cameras into Smart Eyes

This session doesn’t focus on theory – it shows real, hands-on use cases from the warehouse floor. Through compelling demonstration videos, Dr. Roidl showcases how cutting-edge camera systems – including 360° and event-based technologies – enable robots like LoadRunner and EvoBot to self-localize, detect obstacles in real time, and perform with unmatched efficiency.

The heart of the talk is the fusion of artificial intelligence and imaging: How can neural networks process visual data in real time to enable rapid decision-making? What happens when multiple robots operate simultaneously in the same space – identifying and coordinating with one another?

About the Speaker: Dr.-Ing. Moritz Roidl

Dr.-Ing. Moritz Roidl is Chief Engineer at the Chair of Materials Handling and Warehousing at TU Dortmund University and Deputy Managing Director of the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. He earned his doctorate in engineering with research on swarm robotics and serves on the scientific board of the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics. His work focuses on multi-robot motion planning and logistics applications of swarm robotics, with a particular interest in robotic perception in these systems.
