Intro
The ROKAE Helios robot combines a wheeled differential drive base with a human-like dual-arm manipulation system, enabling both efficient movement and flexible task execution in complex environments. Its modular architecture and integration of SLAM navigation, multimodal perception, and AI decision logic allow it to autonomously reach workstations and perform coordinated manipulation tasks without requiring environmental changes.
Physically, Helios stands at up to 1800 mm tall when extended and 1100 mm tall folded, with a compact footprint of ≤600 × 600 mm. The robot’s 42 degrees of freedom encompass a 2-DoF head, dual 7-DoF arms, a 4-DoF torso, dual 6-DoF hands (optional dexterous), and a 2-DoF mobile base. Each arm has a 650 mm reach and a 5 kg payload (excluding end-effector), with ±0.1 mm repeatability and force-controlled joints equipped with torque sensors and high-resolution encoders. Navigation is facilitated by laser SLAM and chassis depth perception, allowing dynamic obstacle avoidance and route planning in real time. Communication options include Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and Helios provides ROS2-compatible SDK interfaces for flexible secondary development.
