Key Engineering Highlights
- Unites 5.0 m/s wheeled road efficiency (15km range) with 16-DoF legged climbing—conquering 45-degree rubble slopes, 25cm stairs, 80cm ledges, and 50cm narrow culverts
- Eliminates field inspection downtime via dual hot-swappable batteries (2.5h loaded at 15kg working payload / 50kg max load) inside an IP66 dust- and water-jet-proof chassis rated from -20°C to +55°C
- Fuses dual 96-line 3D LiDARs (360°×90° FOV) with dynamic front-elbow/rear-knee leg reconfiguration for zero-blind-spot autonomous substation, mine, and disaster-response missions
