Robot Brief

RB-Y1 is Korea’s first bimanual mobile manipulator developed by Rainbow Robotics, combining a humanoid-type dual-arm robot with a high-speed wheeled mobile base. Each arm has 7 degrees of freedom (DoF), and the robot includes a single leg with 6 DoF that enables vertical body movement exceeding 50 cm, allowing it to perform tasks at various heights. The robot weighs 131 kg, stands 1.4 meters tall, and runs at speeds up to 5.4 km/h (1.5 m/s), capable of agile maneuvers including high-speed turns and sudden acceleration via a sophisticated 20-axis full-body control system. RB-Y1 integrates core components from collaborative robots and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), delivering industrial-grade reliability and performance. It supports teaching via a master-slave arm linkage, self-collision avoidance, and an AI-enabled simulation environment for advanced learning. Designed for the generative AI era, RB-Y1 offers a flexible platform optimized for diverse AI applications in industrial and research settings.

Use Cases

RB-Y1 autonomously navigates complex environments on its omnidirectional wheeled base while performing precise dual-arm manipulation tasks. It can handle repetitive and intricate operations across various heights thanks to its vertical torso mobility. The robot supports human teaching for motion programming and adapts to avoid self-collisions, making it suitable for industrial automation, logistics, inspection, and research.

Industries

  • Manufacturing: Executes precise assembly and material handling tasks.
  • Logistics: Facilitates transport, sorting, and packaging operations.
  • Inspection: Performs detailed monitoring and quality control.
  • Research & Development: Provides a versatile platform for AI and robotics innovation.
