Segway Robotic Mobility Platform Models
This guide is intended to help you setup and properly use the Segway RMP. There are five RMP
models, three balancing models (RMP100, RMP200 and RMP200ATV) and two non-balancing
models (RMP50 and RMP400).
Balancing RMP Models
RMP
200
RMP
100
RMP 100
: based on the p series Segway Human Transporter (HT).
RMP 200
: based on the i Series Segway HT.
RMP 200ATV
: based on the Offroad Series Segway XT.
Operation of these three models is nearly identical except for payload and terrain capabilities.
The RMP 100 has been tuned to handle lighter payloads and is more suitable for flat surfaces.
The RMP 200 has larger wheels and stronger motors to handle more challenging terrain and
larger payloads. The RMP200ATV is configured lithium batteries and all-terrain tires to enable
the highest level of terrain and payload capability.
Balancing RMP models have two operating modes: “Tractor Mode” and “Balance Mode”.
Tractor Mode
provides statically stable operation, with a larger footprint and lower payload
height. The limits of stability are defined by the distribution of the contact points and the height of
the center of gravity.
Balance Mode
provides dynamically stable operation with a smaller footprint and higher payload
height. This has the benefit of allowing for a much higher center of gravity while still maintaining
a small footprint.
