MūL Technologies

MūL Technologies designs and manufactures MARC (Mobile Autonomous Robotic Cart), an economical autonomous mobile robot (AMR) for material handling in warehouses, manufacturing plants and logistics facilities. The company's stated approach is to build practical, affordable automation by combining commercial off-the-shelf components with minimal custom hardware, positioning MARC at less than a fifth the cost of comparable AMRs. MARC operates entirely offline with no Wi-Fi, cloud or external infrastructure, deploying in roughly ten minutes out of the box and requiring no software installation, apps or complex setup. The cart uses AI-based self-navigation, learning and adaptation, and collision avoidance, building its own facility map with 3D depth cameras, three LIDAR units and eight proximity sensors for a 360-degree anti-collision field.

Operators program destinations by physically pushing the cart to a location and holding a button via the EZ-Go Navigation interface, then dispatch it with a single press. The current 5 Series moves up to 220 lb (100 kg) autonomously, runs up to 12 hours on a 24V 30Ah lithium-ion pack, and includes brushless DC drive motors, emergency stop and corrosion-resistant construction. MūL Technologies is partnered with contract manufacturer GMI Solutions (in business since 1983) and is led by founder and CEO Dan Armbrust. Headquartered in Mequon, Wisconsin, the company sells MARC with transparent online pricing through its web shop; products are currently available only in the United States and Canada.
