Weston Robot Delivered Several Robot Dogs to NTU
2021-11-28 13:15:37
NTU School Of Art, Design and Media, School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), and School of School of Computer Science and Engineering use quadruped robot dogs for various research topics.

Quadruped robot dog is a very versatile mobile platform for various research topics in engineering and social science, due to its great mobility across tough terrains, and easy social acceptance. By installing various sensors, such as lidar, depth and stereo cameras, GPS, ultrasonic sensors, researchers can perform multi-disciplinary explorations, such as navigation, robot-dog companion, patrolling and inspection, and human-machine interactions. Nanyang Technological University has adopted the robots for various research topics. NTU School of Art, Design and Media (SADM), School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), and School of Computer Science and Engineering (SCSE) use quadruped robot dogs for various cutting edge research topics.

The robot dog A1 and robot dog GO 1 are cost effective with its base models priced less than USD10K. The robots can carry 5KG payload, making it an ideal platform for many vision/lidar based applications. The robot dog weights around 10KG, making it easily relocated to test at different terrains. By including 2D/3D lidars, researcher can achieve high degree of autonomy for proof of concept. Using the built-in cameras and Jetson NX/TX2 computers inside, users can develop many edge-AI applications such as people detection, or construction-site inspection.

The robot dog A1 and robot dog GO 1 have great mobility, e.g., it can climb stairs with 12cm height, and recover from common falling down positions. The removable battery also makes it great for continuous test and deployment by having an extra set of battery. With the new robot GO 1 (to replace A1), a built-in SIM card and GPS making the robot deployment at remote site a possible task. However, it is worthwhile to point out that the current robot dogs are not waterproof. They are mainly for proof-of-concept research. If waterproof and larger payload are requirement, our to-be-release robot dog B1 with 40KG payload and IP66 protection is an appropriate platform.

Besides NTU, National University of Singapore (NUS), and ASTAR are some other research institutes who also purchased the robot dogs from Weston Robot for their teaching and research.

    Autonomous Mobile Robots for Outdoor Delivery by Singapore Polytechnic

    Students and researchers from Singapore Polytechnic developed outdoor delivery robot by collaborating with Weston Robot's engineers team using RTK/GPS navigation. he AMRs are able to collect and deliver items, based on request, from one building to another. They are able to navigate around on their own, avoiding obstacles, and returning to their source if any unexpected situation arises.

    Weston Robot Delivered FDA-approved Exoskeletons to Rehabilitation Research Institute of Singapore

    The FDA-approved PHOENIX Medical Exoskeleton is the world's lightest and most advanced exoskeleton designed to help people with mobility disorders to be upright and mobile. In the clinic, at home, and in the workplace Phoenix has successfully enabled many individuals to stand up, walk about, and speak to peers eye-to-eye.

    Weston Robot Delivered Ackerman-Driven Autonomous Robot to NTU

    To develop autonomous driving related algorithms with a real car is very expensive and requiring large spaces and tracks. However, Ackerman-drive robot, which mimics the behaviour of a car is superiors in many aspects. Autonomous driving research team in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, adopts the Ackerman-drive robot from Weston Robot to conduct their advanced research.
