Last week, Silan Technology released the universal robot platform, Athena Athena, yes, the goddess. Her appearance alleviates the awkward situation of "the easy-to-use chassis is too expensive and the cheap chassis is not easy to use" in the robot platform (chassis) market.

For a long time, our stereotype of the robot chassis is that the price is expensive, the volume is large, and the performance needs to be improved. Which perceptions will be subverted by the emergence of Athena?

Strong ability to identify, perceive, understand, judge and act

Athena built-in SLAM Club autonomous positioning and navigation kit, laser + visual dual navigation, equipped with radar, vision, ultrasound, multiple anti-fall, depth camera and other sensors, with strong identification, perception, understanding, judgment and action ability, no discount performance.

When Athena is placed in a completely unfamiliar environment, Athena will use laser SLAM technology to build maps while walking, complete real-time positioning and mapping high-precision maps in unknown scenes.

Athena positioning and mapping

When Athena encounters glass, mirror and other transparent material obstacles, it will not bump into a headless fly. Ultrasonic sensors can enable Athena to identify such obstacles in time, avoid such obstacles and continue to plan the route.

Ultrasonic transducer

When the Athena encounters a boundary or a danger zone that needs to be careful, just deploy the magnetic stripe on the site in advance, and Athena can identify and brake the "foot" in time to avoid rushing into the "dangerous" area.

Multiple fall prevention

When Athena encounters traffic ban in some areas, it does not need to be adjusted on site, but can be set up by pure software through RoboStudio to set virtual walls / virtual tracks to help the robot understand the logical concepts in the environment.

Virtual orbit

Like ZEUS and Apollo, Athena continues the elevator adaptation and multi-floor positioning system of Silan chassis, supporting most elevator systems on the market, getting up and down elevators independently, and multi-floor mapping is not a problem.

Lower application environment requirements

Athena Athena 390mm fuselage width, so that the upper application developers have more choice of the platform (chassis), lower requirements for site area, suitable for some space with compact environment. Moreover, the small appearance size will make your robot look smarter and smarter.

70cm narrow aisle

In such a narrow aisle of 70cm above, it is difficult for two people to parallel, let alone put a robot with a large chassis diameter. But look at the efficiency of Athena Athena inside.

Athena can walk easily in the narrow road of 70cm.

Ultra-high performance-price ratio, maximum load-bearing 30Kg

Is the chassis loaded as high as possible? In theory, the higher the load-bearing capacity of the platform (chassis), the more options for robot developers. However, in practical application, in addition to the cost factors such as motors, batteries and sensors, we should also consider whether the ultra-high load has the opportunity to show its ability in the site.

The maximum load of Athena general robot platform is 30Kg, which can meet the needs of most upper robot development applications. The batch price is less than 10,000 yuan, and it has ultra-high performance-to-price ratio.

The upper layer expands more yuan.

There are three versions of Athena this time: high-end version, standard version and volume version. According to the actual functional needs, customers can choose to purchase and develop the upper application.

From left to right are: volume version, standard version, high-end version

In addition, the standard software and hardware interface also provides a lot of convenience for upper-level development, and carries out rich and colorful applications in various industries.
