Robotnik has launched its mobile platform Steel Summit XL. This is the new member of the Summit XL family, which stands out for having an ultra resistant steel structure capable of supporting up to 75 kg.

The new mobile platform uses open architecture and modular control based on ROS and allows easily integrate a variety manipulators and sensors.

The mobile robot has differential kinematics and can also be configured with omnidirectional wheels, which provide greater mobility while improving the accuracy indoors.

Depending on its final application, the platform can integrate diverse sensors, such as GPS, cameras, lasers 2D and 3D structures, torsos and manipulators. These components allow the robot to navigate autonomously or remotely and perform manipulation tasks.
