ROX-Argo

The ROX-Argo platform features the omnidirectional ROX design with powerful ArgoDrive ArgoDrives. This platform design provides impressive maneuverability in all directions, making it suitable for environments with narrow spaces. It also allows for reaching target positions directly without the need for additional maneuvering. This feature proves to be particularly advantageous when the robot arm of a mobile manipulator needs to be moved sideways or to reach positions beyond its original reach.

Using the ArgoDrives offers several advantages:

• Impressive payload with compact dimensions.
• The special kinematics of the ArgoDrives offer high speed and shortest reaction times with  an impressive efficiency.
• Since all wheels are actively steered and driven at all times, gaps, unevenness, and slight slippage are not a problem.

This kinematics comes with only very few limitations:

• Compared to the omnidirectional Mecanum wheels of the ROX-Meca the ArgoDrives are more expensive.
• In the long run, the MPO-700 copes better with very dusty or dirty floors.
