Dr. Robot Jaguar 4x4 Mobile Platform

• Designed for indoor and outdoor operation requiring higher ground clearance and faster maneuverability
• Managing max 155mm (6") vertical step (obstacle)
• All 802.11G (optional 802.11N) wirelessly connected
• Light weight (< 20Kg) with excellent payload capacity
• Autonomous navigation with outdoor GPS and 9 DOF IMU
• Climbing up low rise stairs (up to 110mm step)
• Speed: 0 - 15Km/hr

The Dr. Robot Jaguar 4x4 Mobile Platform is designed for indoor and outdoor operation requiring higher ground clearance and faster maneuverability. The Jaguar-4x4-wheel platform is a wheeled version of the Jaguar-Lite platform. It is driven by four powerful (80W) motors, one for each wheel. It is rugged, light weight (< 20Kg), fast (max 15km/hr), with high ground clearance (88mm), compact, weather and water resistant. It is designed for tough terrains and capable of running over vertical step up to 155mm and climbing up low rise stairs (up to 110mm step).

It is fully wirelessly (802.11G) connected. It integrates outdoor GPS and 9 DOF IMU (Gyro/Accelerometer/Compass) for autonomous navigation. The integrated high resolution video/audio and laser scanner (optional) provide remote operator detail information of the surrounding. Besides the ready to use control and navigation software, a full development kit including SDK, data protocol and sample codes, is also available.

The figure below illustrates the key components that you will identify on the Dr. Robot Jaguar 4x4 Mobile Platform:

Operation Scenario

Diagram below illustrates the typical operation scenario. The Dr. Robot Jaguar 4x4 Mobile Platform is a wireless networked outdoor mobile robot. It comes with a wireless 802.11 AP/router. The remote host controller PC running the "Jaguar Control" program connects to the Dr. Robot Jaguar 4x4 Mobile Platform via Network Cable or Wireless. End user could develop his own jaguar control program using the supplied development API and tools.

You could use the included Gamepad controller to navigate the robot. When used outdoor, especially under direct sunlights, head-mounted display (not included) will provide clear and large display with excellent outdoor experience.
