Intro
The Zerith H1 is a humanoid robot engineered for hotel housekeeping tasks. This design prioritizes stability and reach over bipedal agility. The fundamental objective is to eliminate the need for human intervention in repetitive, physically intense, and often hazardous janitorial tasks. By adopting a stable, wheeled platform, Zerith Robotics ensures that the robot can exert the necessary force for tasks like scrubbing without complex balance control systems, leading to higher reliability in tasks requiring contact force application.
The robot utilizes a chassis mounted on flexible universal wheels, allowing smooth, omnidirectional navigation and adaptation to varying room layouts and narrow corridors. A key physical attribute is the height-adjustable body, which provides versatility unmatched by fixed-height devices. The operational height can be adjusted from a low of approximately 0.9 meters, enabling stooping actions for picking items off the floor or cleaning low fixtures, up to a maximum standing height of 1.78 meters for tasks requiring reach or standard human interaction.
The upper body features desktop-grade robotic arms. The key arm specifications include an arm span of 1,827.2 mm, a maximum end-effector speed of 2.5 m/s, and a repeatable accuracy of 0.1± mm. The robot was previously noted to have an arm reach of up to 2.15 meters 6, and its end-effector configuration utilizes a two-finger gripper, which is suitable for handling cleaning implements and delicate amenity packages.
