Specifications 

Jaguar  V6  Mobile  Robotic  Platform  with  manipulator  arm  is  designed  for  indoor  and  outdoor  applications 
requiring robust maneuverability, terrain maneuverability and object manipulation. It comes with four articulated 
arms and is fully wirelessly 802.11N connected. It integrates outdoor GPS and 9 DOF IMU (Gyro/Accelerometer/ 
Compass) for autonomous navigation. Jaguar V6 platform is rugged, light weight (< 30Kg), compact, weather and 
water  resistant.  It  is  designed  for  extreme  terrains  and  capable  of  stair  or  vertical climbing  up  to  300mm  with 
ease. The 4 articulated arms could convert the robot into various optimal navigation configurations to overcome 
different terrain challenges. The integrated high resolution video/audio and optional laser scanner provide remote 
operator detail information of the surrounding.  Besides the ready to use control and navigation software, a full 
development kit including SDK, data protocol and sample codes, is also available. 

 

The integrated rugged 3+1DOF robotic manipulator (Jaguar Arm) is designed for compact mobile robots. It is light 
on weight, low on power consumption and compact on size. It has 3 DOF + 1 DOF gripper, with maximum reach of 
over 707mm (28 in), max payload capacity of 4Kg at max reach, while weights under 10Kg. Wrist mounted color 
video camera provides high resolution (720 x 480) close-up view. Jaguar Arm is ideal for object inspection and 
handling.  It  could  also  work  as  an  articulated  sensor  platform.  Integrated  software  features  independent  joint 
space control  as well  as gripper Cartesian space control.  While  it only  has  3 rotation joints (excluding gripper), 
when working together with the Jaguar mobile robot, Jaguar Arm could achieve full 6DOF, and reach virtually any 
position and at any orientation within its allowed working space.
