DESCRIPTION
Robovie-R4 is a Humanoid from Vstone. It is built for Companionship, Development, Research. Key figures: 30 kg, 13 degrees of freedom.
Robovie-R4 is the latest model in Vstone's life-size Robovie-R series, a humanoid-type robot for communication research. It puts a friendly humanoid upper body, styled after the earlier Robovie-R3 and now with LED eyes, on a Mega Rover Ver.3.0 mobile base, giving a 1,080 mm tall platform that drives at up to 1.6 m/s and can cross steps about the height of tactile paving. It has 13 axes (2 wheels, 4 per arm, 3 in the head) driven by two 40 W BLDC wheel motors and 11 DC motors with encoders, and two VS-WRC058 boards, one for the body and one for the base. It supports ROS 1 messaging with Gazebo models and MoveIt, the block-based Motion Works tool, and the supplied VS-C3 wireless gamepad. The standard version carries only motors, a speaker and LEDs so researchers can add their own sensors; a voltage display and emergency stop sit on the back.
