Manufacturing productivity in the US has stalled for more than a decade, up to 1.9M manufacturing jobs may go unfilled through 2033, and the US Army alone is spending $18B to modernize and automate World War II-era depots. Autonomous mobile robots are the fastest, cheapest way to make an existing plant more productive without rebuilding it. With multiple robots in
