All mechanical, electronic, and IT engineering is carried out by our R&D team. Drawing on our field experience and attentive customer feedback, we have developed a robotics base that meets user expectations and offers the ability to customize the carrier robot’s loading space for transporting all kinds of goods: rubble, liquids, pipes, various materials, tools, garbage, waste, or even dedicated equipment: thermal imaging cameras, robotic arms, infrared cameras, etc.
BOROBO robots are constantly evolving and now offer unique features on the market.
In “follow me” mode, the robot’s intelligent recognition allows it to follow operators based on their body shape, size, and clothing color.
Equipped with a precise geolocation system, our robots move completely autonomously while benefiting from a remote monitoring system.
Fast or slow manual navigation with an intuitive remote control for easy access to tight or congested spaces with a range of +100 m
4G interface for remote monitoring and maintenance of the robot.
45 km of continuous travel range with a 80 kg load and a 4-hour LiFePO4 battery recharge time.
The robot is equipped with 4-wheel drive with a power of 1.2 hp and all-terrain locomotion, with the option to climb/descend stairs.
The robot transports heavy loads of up to 100 kg on all terrains, either in "follow me" mode, "autonomous" mode, or manually with a joystick.
Users can control the robot via an app, and administrators can also monitor their robot fleet via a dashboard.
The robot has numerous proximity sensors, a depth camera, and two emergency stop buttons.
