ArgoDrive

The ArgoDrive is an extremly compact omnidirectional drive unit for autonomous vehicles. Similar to the Neobotix OmniDriveModule it can be used to build customised autonomous mobile robots. With the ArgoDrive, fully omnidirectional robot vehicles can be designed that can immediately drive in any direction, navigate in very confined environments and even change their orientation freely at any time while driving. In combination with our PlatformPilot robot control software completely new applications can be brought to life.


Key data of the ArgoDrive    

  • Extremely compact unit consisting of servo motors, drive wheel and parking brake with remote servo controllers
  • Load capacity per module: 300 kg
  • Dimensions (LxWxH): 250 mm x 170 mm x 123 mm
  • Nominal speed: 2 m/s
  • Control: CAN, STO
  • Safety: STO

ArgoDriveModule

In addition to the standard ArgoDrive, Neobotix also offers the ArgoDriveModule. This is distinguished by a controller box in which the two motor controllers that each ArgoDrive requires are housed. This means that the controllers no longer have to be laboriously placed in the robot. The cabling effort is reduced enormously and the ArgoDrive becomes a drive module that can be removed very easily for maintenance or replacement. The controller box is flange-mounted directly onto the ArgoDrive to save space, either on the left or right side. You can download a dimensional drawing of the ArgoDriveModule here.

Software for ArgoDrive

The ArgoDrive can of course be controlled via our PlatformPilot robot control software.

We also offer a ROS 2 driver as an additional component for these modules.

For which applications is the ArgoDrive ideal?

  •     For very compact and flat vehicles
  •     For indoor use on clean floors
  •     For moving loads up to a ton


When are the OmniDriveModules more suitable?

  •     When complete modules with integrated servo controller are required
  •     On somewhat uneven or dirty floors
  •     When higher demands are made on cleaning and tightness
