Coalescent Mobile Robotics

Coalescent Mobile Robotics is a robotics company in Odense, Denmark, that develops mobile robots to automate transport tasks across several industries. Its fleet moves wheeled trolleys that can be adapted to a store's needs. The company describes its robot fleets as on-demand robotic logistics for in-store transport and says it has worked in this area since 2018. Its autonomous mobile robot, Serena, is adapted to retail, healthcare and pharmaceutical settings, production and logistics.

Serena and trolley fleets

• Serena: the company's autonomous mobile robot, which adapts to different industries and workflows.
• Trolley transport: moves trolleys from pallets or cages, automating a repetitive, labour-intensive task.
• Online orders: transports trolleys for online order fulfilment.
• Waste collection: automates the garbage collection process within a site.
• Adaptable use: the trolleys can be fitted to a store's needs, for example for cleaning supplies or mobile product displays.

Retail and hospital use

For retail, the company moves goods between storage areas, sales floors, click and collect points and replenishment zones. In hospitals and pharmaceutical sites, Serena transports medical supplies, surgical equipment and laboratory samples with traceable workflows. The company offers a free demo, after which its experts prepare a business case from observations and the customer's own inputs. The site describes the fleets as quick, adaptable and fully autonomous, with safety built in, and says experts visit each store to understand its inner workings before giving a demo.

Staff and workflow

The company says that automating repetitive, labour-intensive transport lets staff focus on customers and reduces physical strain. It describes its robots as a way to optimise workflows and make a store's internal movements easier to manage.
