evoBOT - a Self Balancing Robot That Can Grasp and Carry Cargo

evoBOT has two legs with powered wheels at the bottom, along with two arms that have inward facing disc-shaped grip pads at the ends, although it can also be equipped with other types of grippers. When the robot isn’t carrying anything, its arm fold down to sit alongside its legs. It can then lean forward and roll at speeds of up to 10 meters per second. Dual optical cameras, along with other sensors and mapping systems, allow the robot to autonomously navigate its way through environments such as warehouses, while avoiding obstacles and making its way up ramps, over small ledges, and across uneven terrain. If need be, it can also make itself shorter by stretching out into a horizontal orientation. In this configuration, its powered wheels are at the back, while unpowered caster wheels on the undersides of its extended arms are at the front. #evobot #robot
