Pioneering a new era of robotic solutions
As part of its mission to become a “global leader in robotics technology platforms,” RoboSense has unveiled its humanoid robot prototype to accelerate the development of robotics components and solutions. The platform combines three main areas:
1. Visual Solutions:
RoboSense introduced Active Camera , an intelligent ecosystem consisting of hardware sensors, computing cores, and AI algorithms . By combining LiDAR signals and camera data, Active Camera enables active perception of the environment, overcoming challenges such as lighting variability and visual illusions. Developers can use its SDK to seamlessly integrate mapping, localization, and obstacle avoidance, reducing development time and system complexity.
2. Manipulation Solutions: RoboSense demonstrated its second generation Papert 2.0
flexible arm with 20 degrees of freedom , including hand-eye coordination to create a closed-loop system. This innovation significantly increases versatility and complexity across a wide range of tasks.
3. Mobility Solutions:
Based on its extensive automotive experience, RoboSense introduced the Robo FSD intelligent solution for integration into mobile robotics, enabling robots to achieve point-to-point autonomous mobility in various scenarios.
Incremental Components for Next-Generation Robots
In addition to its digital LiDAR line, RoboSense has introduced several new components tailored to the various needs of robotics:
- FS-3D: Force sensor optimized for legged robots.
- LA-8000: High power linear motor designed for robotic hip and knee joints.
- DC-G1: A controller that supports real-time perception, multi-modal large models, realized intelligent operations and advanced motion control algorithms.
