FORBOT 1.4

Roboterwerk

Outdoor mobile robot platform for research and science

The FORBOT is a powerful robotic platform for your own developments and applications: You can install set up your own electronics, computers, sensors and control. Thanks to its 6 permanently driven wheels the FORBOT 1.4 tracels safely through the terrain and obstacles can be overcome or bypassed. The platform was designed for the demanding and performant use in open and urban terrain - even in difficult weather conditions. The FORBOT provides climbing power of 100% (tilt angle> 45 °). These values are achieved by a low center of gravity and long wheelbase, a wide track width, good traction and high torque.

Technical Data

The self-supporting body of FORBOT 1.4 consists of a bottom pan and a hood.With its wireless router on the roof the FORBOT A4 can communicate with multiple wireless devices and can be remote controlled even in the basic version: A PC or iOS application sends the motion commands over Wi-Fi and via the built-in Ethernet to serial converter to the serial interface of the motor controller. By integrating yout own control computer or a notebook in the case of the robot, your own tele-operated or autonomous applications can be implemented.
