DS Automotion LUCY Review: Specs and Uses of the 500 kg Wheel-Arm Transport AGV
Updated: 7 days ago
DS Automotion LUCY is a compact AGV that grips loads with wheel arms instead of driving under them. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
LUCY solves a common retrofit problem: roll containers and racks that have no clearance underneath for an underride AGV. Its wheel arms clamp the load, lifting up to 500 kg as high as 600 mm, and it moves at up to 1.6 m/s with SLAM localization and virtual navigation, fitting through narrow aisles and tight curves. Frame, wheel arms and load attachments are separate modules adapted to each job. 360° scanners protect people, and it charges automatically on lithium or gel lead-acid batteries.
