Introduction
Apollo is a medium-sized general purpose robot development platform
developed by SLAMTEC to meet the requirement of medium-size robot
application like reception robot, shop guiding robot and etc. Its build-in
SLAMWARE autonomous localization and navigation module adds the function of
path finding and navigation to it. And different applications can be integrated with
Apollo to make it work in varies business places. Apollo is equiped with ultrasonic
sensors, cliff sensors, depth cameras and etc., which help Apollo walk freely and
respond well in complicated business environments. In addition, its optional
version manages to self-ride an elevator and build map for multi-story buildings,
which fits in more application scenarios.
Apart from the above core features, we have designed Ethernet port, power supply
port and several control ports on the extended platform of Apollo to promote its
related extension and development. Apollo can communicate with external world
via wired or wireless network and its own battery provides power supply for itself
and the extended module connected to it. And our users can control the whole
Apollo and its upper extended module via varies control ports and pins.
Apollo A2M21 standard version has a complete base design, therefore, there is no
need for users to make additional efforts in its external design. It works as a
complete robot base waiting for upper system development right out of the box.
Basic Function
Autonomous Mapping for Localization and Navigation
The Apollo platform has the feature of autonomous map building, localization and
navigation. There is no need for human assisstance during its working process. It
can find the proper path to a specified place by itself and move there freely. And
it also supports multi-line patrol mode like a security guard.
Autonomous Recharging
We provide open source interface for users and developpers to use it for their
own upper application on Apollo, which can realize the recharging feature of
Apollo, namely, the ability to go back to the charge station to charge itself when
it has a very low battery.
Third Party Application Development
The Apollo has a totally free platform both in software and hardware and we offer
technical support for external extended hardware. Our users can focus on the
developing of business logic appplication via SLAMWARE SDK.
