Robot Brief

The W1 from Zeroth Robotics is a high-strength autonomous mobile robot designed to operate in real environments such as homes, outdoor spaces, and light commercial areas. It combines robust load-carrying capability, environmental perception, and intelligent autonomous navigation in a compact tracked platform built to follow users, transport gear, and integrate with smart ecosystems. With AI-powered patrol and surveillance functions, W1 is marketed as a versatile assistant that can serve as a security patroller, cargo carrier, outdoor companion, or developer-customized platform.

Use Cases

  • Autonomous navigation:
    Uses LiDAR, RGBD depth sensing, and visual perception to map and traverse grass, pavement, gravel, slopes and uneven terrain.
  • Follow-me capability:
    Tracks and follows its user through AI-powered perception.
  • Payload transport:
    Carries up to 20 kg of payload and can tow up to 50 kg of equipment or cargo.
  • Mobile surveillance:
    24/7 AI-powered monitoring with integration to smart home alerts (e.g., smoke, intrusion).
  • Outdoor companion functions:
    Assists with camping gear transport, powering devices through onboard outlets, and serves as a base station for entertainment or photographs.
  • Developer platform:
    Open development environment to build custom solutions for security, logistics, and interactive scenarios.

Industries

  • Home & Outdoor Assistance:
    Helps homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts carry gear, patrol property perimeters, and provide portable power.
  • Security & Surveillance:
    AI-enabled monitoring and alerts, usable for 360° mobile security patrols.
  • Light Commercial Support:
    Transport goods and equipment on uneven surfaces for small businesses and work sites.
  • Research & Development:
    Serves as an adaptable robotics platform for creators to build tailored autonomous behaviors.

Intro

The W1 is a compact tracked autonomous robot designed for practical use in everyday terrain, from indoor floors to outdoor parks and gardens. At 578 mm long, 520 mm wide, and 680 mm tall, W1 weighs about 28 kg with battery, yet it’s engineered to carry payloads up to 20 kg and tow up to 50 kg of cargo thanks to its robust drive system and high-strength build. Its dual caterpillar tracks provide stability and traction across uneven ground, slopes up to 20° and obstacles up to 50 mm in height, enabling navigation where traditional wheeled platforms might struggle.

Under the hood, W1 integrates an 8-core Horizon Sunrise Series CPU for autonomous decision-making, 8 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, and dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and 4G cellular connectivity. Its perception suite includes RGB and RGBD cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and infrared human detectors, giving the robot comprehensive awareness for navigation, object and person recognition, and follow-me tasks. GPS and Beidou support enable global positioning outdoors, while human-centric sensors power features like face recognition and gesture detection.

A suite of interaction options allows users to control or customize W1 via Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS apps, remote controllers, or voice commands. A non-touch LCD display provides status feedback, and built-in USB ports support OTA updates and external device connections. W1’s 360° mobile monitoring, combined with AI and integration with smart home alerts, enables it to act as an autonomous security patrol unit — proactively detecting threats like smoke or intrusion and responding with alerts.

The platform also doubles as a versatile outdoor companion: autonomously carrying camping gear, following users during adventure activities, providing portable power through USB-C or USB-A ports, and capturing images with its 13 MP camera. Open platform support encourages developers to build custom behaviors and expand W1’s functional repertoire for logistics, monitoring, or interactive applications.
