LimX Dynamics launches first wheeled quadruped robot W1
Sep 25, 2023
Quote:
@LimXDynamics has launched its first wheeled quadruped robot W1. W1 is equipped with perception and motion control algorithms, and multiple proprietary high-performing actuators. It combines the advantages of legged and wheeled structures all in one, enabling it with powerful real-time terrain perception and all-terrain mobility.
W1 has tested its ability of dealing with multiple application scenarios, making it well prepared for practical applications.
1 Highly dynamic motion: The high-performing actuators unleash the superb mobility capabilities of the complex wheel-legged structure.
2 Climbing stairs: Integrated with perception-based motion control, W1 achieves stable climbing up and down stairs with gaited motion.
3 Ascending and descending slopes: The robot body can maintain a level surface position with both the slope surface and the ground, flexibly switchable.
4 Road curbs: Flexibly and freely switching gait to easily cope with challenges from various discrete terrains.
5 Ground clearance: During high-speed motion, freely adjust body height to meet the needs of different application environments.
6 One-sided bridge: Allowing the robot to adapt to the terrain, instead of the terrain adapting to the robot, maintaining smooth movement regardless of terrain variations.
7 Grass and slate roads: When passing through bumpy roads, multiple joints of the legs respond in synergy to minimize body posture fluctuations.
8 Gravel road: The ingenious wheel-legged structure can step or roll, combining the high traversability of legged structures with the high efficiency of wheeled structures.
