PUDU mobile robots

System description:

Kettybot & Holabot mobile robots automate the movement of materials, components, and finished products in industrial workshops, service sector facilities, and other locations.

They respond to calls from operators or production machines that need parts delivered or sent.

The list of tasks assigned to the robots can be accessed and modified by the supervisor at any time.

Kettybot & Holabot feature the best in mobile robotics technology:

• 3D RGBD camera for obstacle avoidance
• Infrared positioning camera (V-SLAM)
• Laser radar (Lidar) for mapping and SLAM positioning
• Voice recognition
• Suspension to mitigate the effect of potholes and bumps
• 18.5-inch screen for displaying messages (Kettybot only)

PUDU Robotics' SLAM multi-sensor fusion algorithm integrates data from Lidar, cameras, encoders, an IMU (Inertia Measurement Unit), and more.
Finally, the intelligent route planning algorithm calculates the optimal route for performing tasks based on the operating environment.

This system is designed in the spirit of the Industry of the Future (Industry 4.0) and meets the main requirements for intelligence and the evolution of production methods:

• Scalability & Flexibility with the ability to redefine and modify internal logistics flows at any time
• Collaborative mobile robotics

This system can be used independently and manage the flow of parts boxes.

It can also be integrated into the flexible production lines ErmaSmart, Ermaflex, ErmaLean or even the Vertical Dynamic Warehouse (VL10).

This product comes with a technical and educational file in digital format.

Educational activities:

Automation & Robotics:

• Functional and structural analysis of the system
• SLAM mapping
• Robot programming with intuitive dedicated software
• Programming movement missions
• Mobile robotics safety and risk analysis

Production management:

• Use of a mobile robot to transfer parts between two production stations

Industrial maintenance:

• Preventive maintenance
• Improvement maintenance (Adapting trays to the types of parts to be transported, etc.)

Key strengths:

• A genuine industrial system with modern robotic technologies
• Simple programming of mobile and collaborative robots. You can create maps and routes in real time directly on the robot
• Introduction to production logistics flows and their optimization
• System can be used in training courses in robotics, industrial maintenance, and operation & control of automated production systems
• Can be integrated with ErmaSmart, Ermaflex, and ErmaLean flexible production lines.
