4WD Autonomous Outdoor Robot with Development Platform
Customisable capacity
Description
The HK1000-V2 is a heavy-duty robotic platform built for autonomous development. High ground clearance, high payload capacity, and powerful motors make this robot a workhorse. We can add ROS packages, LIDAR, IMU, GPS, RTK and more at your request. Whether you need to work outdoors or indoors, we’ve got you covered!
This is a 4WD robot that uses our heavy-duty motors and 13-inch tiller tires. We built this robot to be rugged and powerful. At only 26 inches wide, it can fit between standard doors and most field crop rows. We made the chassis out of 1/8-inch steel with 1/8-inch aluminum plates providing a protective shell. The HK1000-V2 uses differential steering (movement is based on two separately driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body). It can thus change its direction by varying the relative rate of rotation of its wheels and “pivot turn” in place. See the Specifications and Configuration tab for more details about the HK1000-V2.
