Robot Brief

Mercury B1 is a semi-humanoid robot developed by Elephant Robotics, featuring dual A1 seven-axis robotic arms with a total of 17 degrees of freedom. It supports independent operation of each arm or coordinated bimanual tasks, enabling versatile manipulation capabilities. The robot integrates a powerful NVIDIA Jetson Xavier module delivering 21 TOPS AI performance, combined with an Orbbec Deeyea 3D camera for advanced 2D/3D machine vision guidance. Mercury B1 is equipped with a 9-inch high-definition touchscreen on its head for multi-point control, user customization, and expressive display. It supports real-time voice interaction through a built-in high-definition linear microphone array, enabling AI voice recognition and intelligent dialogue, including integration with ChatGPT. The robot’s software ecosystem is rich and open, supporting mainstream programming languages (Python, C++, MATLAB) and popular simulation platforms like ROS, MoveIt, Gazebo, and Mujoco. Mercury B1 is designed for embodied intelligence data collection, remote operation via VR, and rapid development of autonomous learning and robotic applications.

Use Cases

Mercury B1 performs complex dual-arm manipulation tasks with high precision and flexibility. It can operate each arm independently or collaboratively for coordinated actions such as grasping, assembly, and object handling. The robot supports remote operation through VR and exoskeleton controllers for 1:1 motion replication, allowing smooth and fluid movements without coding constraints. It uses AI-powered 2D/3D vision and voice recognition to interact naturally with its environment and users, making it suitable for research, education, industrial automation, and human-robot collaboration scenarios.
