Mecabot X

Mecabot X is an ideal Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) platform for indoor service robot applications with full metallic enclosure.

Mecabot X is equipped with builtin ROS Controller, LiDAR, Depth Camera, STM32 Motor/Power/IMU and metal chassis with 4 Mecanum wheels and Independent Suspension Systems.

Mecabot X saves time and money for rapid prototyping or product development for indoor service robot projects. With its metallic enclosure, it is a ready-to-ship product for your target market. This is a serious professional AMR platform to be integrated into service robots especially for indoor environment such as factories, warehouses, hospitals, public transports, office buildings, hotels and restaurants.

It can travel up to 1.39 km/h. Its mecanum wheels can allow Mecabot X travel in omnidirectional directions. Mecabot X can navigate in smaller indoor environment with greater flexibility. The max payload is 60 kg.

Mecabot X comes with revolutionary Power Management Units including Power Mag and Auto Charge. Power Mag is a magnetic LFP battery allows quick and easy battery swaps. Mecabot XS takes it further, integrating Auto Charge, the automatic charging solution.

Both Mecabot X and Mecabot XS come pre-loaded with MiROS, a cloud-based ROS DevKit with a user-friendly graphical interface. They also include free tutorials, supported by a global ROS community.

Mecabot X is one of the most agile AMR platforms that can carry out big jobs at low cost.

What is MiROS

MiROS is a cloud-based programming tool for ROS with graphical user interface. Rosbot 2 comes preinstalled with the MiROS Agent, enabling a constant SSH connection between your computer and your robot. If you’re developing a ROS project on a Mac or PC, there’s no need to install Ubuntu or use a virtual machine. You can access the ROS environment directly through a web browser and remotely connect to your robot. The MiROS graphical interface supports drag-and-drop programming and automatically generates ROS code, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

What is Power Mag

Power Mag is a magnetic battery that easily attaches to Mecabot's metal surface, enabling quick battery swaps. Its core is powered by LFP (lithium iron phosphate) technology, which is ideal for EVs, solar energy storage, and mobile robots. LFP batteries are safer, charge faster, offer better heat resistance, and have a longer lifespan. They are also more environmentally friendly and cost-effective compared to other battery types.

What is Auto Charge

Auto Charge is an automatic charging solution for Rosbots, Mecabots, and Pickerbots. The Rosbot 2S models are bundled with the Auto Charge auto charging station. Auto Charge can also be purchased separately and easily deployed to pair with any compatible Rosbot, Mecabot, or Pickerbot.

User Manual

Download User Manual

The Mecabot is the first of the Mecabot family of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that have been designed primarily for indoor use as service robots. For those looking to develop their own prototype robots the Mecabot provides an ideal staring platform and within the 4 models in the series offers varying levels of performance.

However, common features include LiDAR and a depth camera, which in conjunction with 4 omnidirectional mecanum wheels provide excellent navigational properties whilst being versatile and flexible. With a payload of 15 kg the Mecabot is the smallest of the family, whilst the Mecabot Pro has an upgraded payload of 35kg, whereas both the Mecabot Plus and Mecabot X can carry an impressive 60kg.

Sitting at the top of the tree, the Mecabot X is the only one of the four to come with a full metal enclosure and also boasts 4 I/O interfaces with high quality software. In addition, the Mecabot X comes supplied with extensive user manuals and tutorials and, to assist you with you own development projects also comes with sample codes for ROS, the operating system which is present in the whole family.

Mecabot X is expandable, accommodating robotic arms, LCD screens and similar accessories, and thus can be successfully utilised for a wide range of applications including service and transport, inspection, surveillance and mobile vision capture and can be happily collaborate within a system of other robots or drones.

Whether for ROS learning and research or for your own product development, Mecabot X provides the perfect solution.
