Applications
Start from the system you are building. Each application lists the components it needs, the parameters to put in your quotation request and model combinations to shortlist.
- Building a Research HumanoidMost labs start from a complete humanoid with developer access and add hands, cameras and compute for their task.
- Teleoperation and Data Collection RigsA data collection rig pairs arms and hands that can be commanded at a steady rate with cameras and, often, tactile sensors that record what the robot feels.
- Legged Robots: Platforms and ComponentsBuy a complete quadruped if you need a working legged platform quickly; build with quasi-direct-drive joint modules if locomotion hardware is your research.
- Mobile Manipulation: Bases, Arms and SensingA mobile manipulator combines an open mobile base with a lightweight arm, a gripper or hand, and sensors for navigation and grasping.
- Warehouse Automation RobotsWarehouse automation projects choose robot types by flow: goods-to-person for picking, tote handling for storage, autonomous pallet trucks for transport and sorting robots for parcels.
- Inspection RobotsInspection robots carry sensors along a route and report readings, images and anomalies.
- Equipping a University Robotics LabTeaching labs need several identical, affordable robots with good documentation; research labs need fewer platforms with deeper software access.
- Cobot Assembly CellsA cobot assembly cell combines a collaborative arm with an electric gripper, often a six-axis force/torque sensor for insertion and pressing, and a camera for part location.
