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 Cube autonomous localization and navigation module is designed to
realize path finding and navigation. And different applications can be integrated
with Apollo to make it work in varies business places. Apollo is equiped with
RPlidar, ultrasonic sensors, cliff sensors, bumpers, magnetic sensors, depth
cameras and etc., which helps Apollo walk freely and respond well in complicated
business environments.
Basic Function
Autonomous Mapping for Localization and Navigation
The function of Apollo platform is to realize 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.
