What is the Thouzer Robot?
The Thouzer robot is an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) from Japan. While Thouzer robots serve in many industries, they are primarily used in manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution center environments.
Thouzer Robot Use Cases
Thouzer robots can either be taught to run autonomously to fully automate your material handling operations, or they can serve as a collaborative aid to your workforce in order to increase throughput and efficiency in manual operations such as pick/pack and warehouse/DC environments.

Types of Thouzer Robot
There are five Thouzers robot models:
- Thouzer Standard - our flagship AGV.
- Thouzer Giant - for heavier loads.
- Thouzer Lite - for simple Follow-Me applications.
- Thouzer Mini - for custom projects needing a small footprint.
- Thouzer Giant EX - for palletized loads.
Thouzer Robot Safety
Every Thouzer robot has multiple safety features, including an audible warning device, emergency stop (E-stop) button, safety bumper, 2-D LiDAR proximity sensor, automatic collision/obstacle avoidance, and more.
Thouzer AGVs bear the European CE mark and are in compliance with the ISO3691-4 standard for driverless trucks, as well as European standards for industrial trucks (EN12895, EN1175-1).

Thouzer Robot Operation
Thouzer robots can operate collaboratively alongside your operators or they can run completely autonomously. Mix and match the navigation methods below to create the perfect operation for your facility. No computer, no WiFi, or programming required! Best of all, you can easily repurpose Thouzer on your own as the needs of your facility evolve.
Follow Me
Press the Follow-Me button and Thouzer will follow you around until you tell it to stop. This is especially useful in pick and pack operations.
Memory Trace
Thouzer robots learn by example. Just show Thouzer the route you want it to take through your facility, then bring it back to the starting point and it will replay the route all by itself with the press of a button!
Line Trace
To create very complex routes with no programming, use Line Trace Navigation. In this mode, Thouzer follows lines of tape or paint through your facility.
