TLIBOT Y1
AI ChatLast updated:
TLIBOT Y1 is a wheeled, folding and lifting dual-arm mobile robot from TLIBOT (Sichuan Tianlian Robot Co., Ltd.) in Mianyang. A lifting column carries a humanoid upper body with two arms that each have a 5 kg rated load, giving a working range of about 2.47 m, and a 500 mm lifting stroke. When folded it measures 625 by 750 by 1450 mm and weighs up to 150 kg. The chassis moves at up to 1.5 m/s, turns on the spot, climbs slopes below 8 degrees, crosses 30 mm obstacles and gaps and positions itself within 20 mm and 3 degrees. LiDAR drives autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance, and an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64G with a 1 TB SSD is the default controller. It runs 4 to 6 hours and recharges in about 2.5 hours, connects by Wi-Fi, offers network, HDMI and USB 3.0 ports, and supports ROS2 and an API for secondary development. TLIBOT publishes an English technical specification and user manual for the robot.
