How to choose a robot chassis?

July. 14, 2025

With the development and application of artificial intelligence, robots are increasingly connected to our lives. Whether it is a common service robot in life; AGV and palletizing robots used in industry; or automatic picking robots and automatic bird-repelling robots in agriculture, the stability of the chassis directly affects the stability, flexibility and function of the robot.

 

XspireBot is a robot chassis supplier integrating R&D and manufacturing. In order to meet the needs of most customers, it has launched four types of chassis: Ackerman chassis, Differential chassis, Tracked chassis and Four-wheel drive robot chassis.


How to choose a robot chassis that better suits your needs?


In order to provide you with better service, our project team will provide you with continuous advice and assistance from the initial demand analysis to the final product implementation, including but not limited to: customized solutions , product selection, use, training and after-sales , etc.

Clarify the application scenario requirements of the robot chassis


1. Indoor scenes (such as shopping mall guides, hospital delivery):

There are dense crowds indoors and the movable space is small. The differential robot chassis designed and produced by our company has high-precision positioning, low-noise operation and good obstacle avoidance capabilities , which is very suitable for movement in narrow spaces .

 

2. Outdoor operation scenarios (such as inspection, logistics and transportation):

The outdoors is open, the terrain is complex, and there are many uncontrollable factors. The protection level, off-road performance and endurance of the chassis are relatively important . The four-wheel drive chassis designed and developed by our company is equipped with an independent motor for each wheel, which can control the speed and steering angle at the same time; and the tracked chassis has powerful obstacle crossing and climbing capabilities, and is specially designed for complex terrains such as mud, swamps, gravel, and steep slopes.

 

3.Industrial manufacturing scenarios (such as automated production line handling):

Industrial robot chassis pay more attention to repeated positioning accuracy, load capacity and multi-machine coordination efficiency , etc. The Ackerman chassis designed and produced by our company adopts the Ackerman steering structure to achieve coordinated steering control of the wheels, which is especially suitable for scenarios that require high-precision path tracking.

In order to provide you with better service, we have compiled the following content to assist us in helping you choose the robot chassis.

 

Drive Mode: The current mainstreams include front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, omni-directional wheel drive, etc. Xspirebot provides a variety of drive structures to meet different steering and movement requirements.

 

Chassis Size: Since the chassis size directly affects the robot's minimum turning radius, channel passability and equipment integration space, please provide relatively accurate chassis size.

 

Load Capacity: Chassis load ranges from light 5kg to heavy 500kg and above, and our modular design supports customized load expansion.

 

Power System: The robot chassis is matched with a brushless motor (high efficiency and energy saving) or a servo motor (high-precision control) to meet the needs of different scenarios.

 

Obstacle Crossing and Climbing Capabilities: For complex terrain, some robot chassis need to have obstacle crossing and climbing capabilities, such as agricultural robots. Our crawler chassis can achieve an obstacle crossing capability of 10-30cm and a climbing height of 15°-35°.

 

Navigation and Positioning System: supports multiple integrated positioning technologies such as laser radar SLAM, visual navigation, and combined inertial navigation , and is suitable for complex dynamic environments. It is recommended to integrate laser SLAM+encoder for indoor scenes to achieve positioning accuracy; outdoor scenes need to be equipped with RTK-GPS+IMU, which has strong anti-interference ability.

 

Interface Compatibility: Standard communication protocols and power supply interfaces are reserved to facilitate rapid integration of upper-layer devices and algorithm platforms.

 

Battery Life and Charging Management: Equipped with high-performance battery pack and automatic charging module to support long-term continuous operation.
