1 SCOUT MINI Introduction

SCOUT MINI intelligent mobile chassis, with 4WD, strong off-road performance and compact body shape, truly achieves "dexterous and flexible". SCOUTMINI inherits the advantages of SCOUT four-wheel differential chassis family, i.e. four-wheel drive, independent suspension, in-situ rotation and so on, and has made innovation in the design of hub motor. The minimum turning radius of the chassis is 0 m, and the climbing angle is close to 30 degrees. SCOUT MINI is still capable of excellent off-road performance although it is only half of SCOUT in size. In addition, it has a breakthrough high-speed, accurate, stable and controllable dynamic control system up to 20 km/h. SCOUTMINI development platform with its own control core, supports standard CAN bus communication, and can access to standard CAN bus communication, as well as all kinds of external equipment. On such basis, it supports secondary development such as ROS and more advanced access and the access of robot development system. Equipped with standard RC transmitter, 24V 15Ah lithium battery power system, its endurance mileage is up to 10 km. Additional components such as stereo camera, laser radar, GPS, IMU, manipulator, etc. can be optionally installed on SCOUT MINI for expanded applications. SCOUT MINI is frequently used for unattended inspection, security, scientific research, prospecting, logistics, etc.
