Outdoor Robot Platform

The outdoor 2wd robot platform is a modular platform specifically designed for high-performance mobile applications. Its core configuration features Ackermann steering paired with rear-wheel drive: the Ackermann steering system ensures precise trajectory control and minimal tire wear during high-speed turns, while rear-wheel drive delivers robust traction and load adaptability, enabling reliable mobility in dynamic environments.

By delivering high-speed, stable handling, seamless adaptation across diverse scenarios, and minimal operational costs, we address the pain points of efficiency loss and operational disruptions caused by unstable chassis, poor adaptability, and frequent maintenance in complex environments.

What is Ackermann steering?

It ensures all wheels roll around the same instantaneous center of steering (ICC) during turns, preventing tire skidding (reducing tire wear, improving control precision, and saving energy).

Implementation Method:

The inner front wheel (steering wheel) has a greater steering angle than the outer front wheel.

The steering angle difference between the two front wheels is precisely controlled via a steering trapezoidal linkage mechanism (or electronic control in modern robots).

The rear wheels are typically fixed drive wheels (or differential drive) and do not participate in steering.

Why do robots use Ackermann steering?

Zero-slip turning: Ideal for soft outdoor surfaces (grass, sand, mud) to prevent positioning drift caused by sideways slippage in differential-drive robots.

High path-tracking accuracy: Suitable for scenarios requiring fixed-path operation, such as farmland inspections, logistics transportation, and surveying.

Low energy consumption and wear: Pure tire rolling reduces friction, extending endurance and tire lifespan (compared to Mecanum wheels/omnidirectional wheels).

High-speed stability: More stable than differential steering at high speeds (>2m/s), minimizing tail-out (e.g., security patrol robots).

Eight-Layer Security Protection System: This comprehensive defense features dual hardware and software safeguards that operate simultaneously without conflict. Even under the harshest conditions—heavy rain, dust, high temperatures, or electromagnetic interference—it provides you and your field personnel with a true last line of defense.

1. Outdoor Inspection Robots: In scenarios such as power line inspections, photovoltaic power plant maintenance, and orchard monitoring, robots must operate stably over extended periods on unstructured terrain (e.g., muddy ground, gravel roads, inclined ramps). Ackermann steering significantly reduces the risk of tire sinking in soft ground through its zero-side-slip turning capability.

2. Logistics AGVs: Large-scale outdoor warehouse transfer scenarios demand AGVs with both high load capacity (1-10 tons) and precise docking accuracy (error <±5mm). The outdoor 2wd robot platform efficiently converts power into traction through its rigid frame and independently driven rear wheels.

3. Research & Education Platforms: Universities and research institutions widely adopt Ackermann chassis as teaching vehicles for autonomous driving education.

4. Special-Purpose Robots: High-risk scenarios like fire reconnaissance and nuclear power plant inspections impose stringent demands on robots' extreme environment adaptability. Crawler structures easily get stuck in debris, while omnidirectional wheels slip on rubble surfaces. The outdoor 2wd robot platform, featuring large-diameter off-road tires and pure rolling steering, maintains trajectory precision even on 30° rubble slopes.

5. Low-Speed Autonomous Vehicles: Level 4 autonomous vehicles for campus delivery and scenic area navigation operate in mixed pedestrian-vehicle environments.
