DESCRIPTION
The EXPLORER S01 is the light, fast end of Micbot's range — 55 kg against the P1's 77, and quick enough at 8 m/s to be the fastest machine the company builds. It is a general-purpose high-speed industrial wheeled quadruped built on a dual-planetary-frame drive, standing 850 by 570 by 700 mm and dropping to a 250 mm low profile to get under obstacles. Carrying up to 50 kg, it trades the P1's heavy payload and explosion protection for speed and modularity, though it keeps the family's protection standard of an IP67 body with IP68 wheels and a -40 °C to 85 °C range at up to 95% humidity. Two 48 V 22 Ah packs give five to eight hours and recharge in under two, and 181 TOPS of compute drives a standard sensor set of LiDAR, HD depth camera, ultrasonic radar and IMU. Step capability is the honest limit of the lighter build at 75 mm, well short of the P1's 250 mm, but slopes to 45 degrees are unchanged. Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi, OTA, app and host support, expansion ports and secondary development make it the modular multi-scenario platform of the line.
