SAFELOG XS1 Review: Specs and Uses of the 4 m/s Compact Mobile Transport Robot
Updated: 7 days ago

The SAFELOG XS1 is the smallest and fastest mobile transport robot from the German maker SAFELOG. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications and uses.
Quick Verdict
The XS1 is built for speed in sorting and picking systems. At 41 kg and 66 cm long it reaches 4.0 m/s, more than twice the speed of SAFELOG's larger vehicles, and navigates by grid codes on the floor with LiDAR. Like all SAFELOG robots it charges inductively during operation, so there are no charging stops. The XS1 core is a base for customer superstructures, and the maker does not state a payload on the overview page.
