For many companies, the idea of deploying autonomous mobile robots is exciting – until reality sets in. Lengthy setup times, specialized integrators, complex software, and weeks of tuning often turn automation into a stressful, expensive project.
The Model C2 Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) was designed to eliminate that friction entirely.
Instead of asking users to adapt to robotics, Model C2 adapts to users. The result is an AMR that can be deployed in minutes, operated without technical knowledge, and reconfigured on the fly by the people who use it every day.
Deployment Measured in Minutes, Not Weeks
Model C2 can be deployed in as little as 5 minutes for basic operation, and typically 15–45 minutes for a complete, production-ready setup.
There is no external software installation. No laptops. No site surveys. No integrator-led commissioning. Everything happens directly on the robot’s touchscreen.
Power it on, accept the user agreement, and you are immediately guided into mapping mode. From that moment, the robot is ready to learn your facility.
This radically short deployment time means automation is no longer a “project.” It becomes a tool – something you can introduce, test, and refine in a single shift.
Zero Programming. Zero IT Dependency.
Perhaps the most important design decision behind Model C2 is this: no computer knowledge is required.
Users never see code. There are no scripts, logic trees, or configuration files. If you can type a name into a touchscreen, you can deploy and operate the robot.
This empowers operations teams directly. Manufacturing supervisors, lab staff, warehouse personnel, and hospital technicians can all set up and manage Model C2 without calling IT or engineering.
Automation becomes accessible, not intimidating.
Mapping a 100,000 sq ft Facility in About 30 Minutes
Mapping is where many AMRs slow down. With Model C2, it is one of the fastest and simplest steps.
A 100,000 square foot facility can typically be mapped in around 30 minutes. Mapping is done by manually guiding the robot through the space while it builds the map live on screen using its onboard LiDAR and vision sensors.
There are no CAD drawings required. No alignment markers. No post-processing.
You simply walk the robot through the areas where it will operate – aisles, rooms, corridors – and watch the map form in real time. When finished, you tap “Mapping Completed,” and the robot is ready for waypoint creation and autonomous navigation.
Waypoints That Work the Way Humans Think
Creating waypoints on Model C2 is refreshingly simple.
You place the robot exactly where you want it to stop. You orient it the way you want it to arrive. Then you type a name.
That’s it.
The robot remembers the exact position and orientation of that waypoint. There are no coordinates to adjust and no guesswork involved.
This makes waypoint creation incredibly fast and intuitive. Users don’t need to interpret a map or drag icons around a screen. They work directly in the real environment, which eliminates errors and speeds up deployment.
Programming by Naming, Not Coding
On Model C2, “programming” means naming things.
When you name a waypoint “Receiving,” “Prep Station,” or “Lab Bench 2,” you are effectively programming the robot’s behavior. That name becomes a reusable, selectable destination that the robot understands perfectly.
Routes are built the same way – by selecting waypoint names in sequence. No logic blocks. No flowcharts. Just human-readable steps that match real-world workflows.
This approach makes automation transparent. Anyone can understand how the robot is configured just by looking at the waypoint and route names.
Everything Lives on the Robot
Another key advantage of Model C2 is that core functionality lives entirely on the robot itself.
The touchscreen shows:
- The live facility map
- Waypoints and routes
- Navigation status
- System readiness
Cloud connectivity and mobile apps are available for fleet management and analytics, but they are optional – not required for operation. Even without Wi-Fi, Model C2 remains fully functional.
This autonomy makes deployment easier, more reliable, and less dependent on IT infrastructure.
Built for Change, Not Perfection
Facilities change. Layouts evolve. Processes improve.
Model C2 is designed for that reality. Maps can be updated, expanded, or duplicated. Waypoints can be moved or recreated in seconds. Nothing is locked behind complexity.
This encourages experimentation. Teams can try automation ideas quickly, refine them, and scale what works – without fear of “breaking” the system.
Simplicity That Scales with You
Ease of use does not limit capability. Model C2 supports:
- Large facilities
- Multiple maps
- Complex routes
- Fleet operations
What changes is not the interface – but the scope of use.
Final Thought
Model C2 proves that powerful automation does not need to be complicated. By designing around human intuition instead of robotic abstraction, Quasi Robotics has created an AMR that feels natural to deploy, easy to operate, and simple to scale.
Automation, finally, without the headache.
