MobED
MobED is a production-ready autonomous mobility robot platform designed as a modular base for diverse applications including delivery, factory logistics, security patrol, research, video production, and surveillance. It features proprietary DnL modules with four independent drive wheels and an eccentric posture control system that dynamically adjusts height, maintains level positioning on slopes up to ±10°, and navigates uneven terrain, curbs, and indoor/outdoor environments. MobED Pro offers full autonomy via AI-driven navigation with fused LiDAR-camera sensors for obstacle avoidance, path optimization, and map building, while the Basic model supports custom autonomy kits. Universal mounting rails and open APIs enable easy integration of top modules like robotic arms for picking/packing or touchscreens for interactive tasks, ensuring scalability across industries.
