Elephant Robotics LIMO Cobot robot mobil autonom compus, brat 6 axe

LIMO Cobot mobile robot by Elephant Robotics: autonomous compound robot with a 6-axis arm, LiDAR and ROS 2 is a desktop mobile robot platform that combines the 6-axis  collaborative robotic arm myCobot 280 M5 with the AgileX LIMO PRO mobile base.

Elephant Robotics and AgileX Robotics developed it together. It brings mobility, collaboration and intelligence into one robot, for education, competitions and training.

The mobile base includes an EAI T-mini Pro LiDAR, an Orbbec Dabai depth camera and an IMU, with processing on an NVIDIA Orin Nano.

Four hub motors give the base stability and maneuverability on different types of terrain, and the base switches between four driving modes: Ackermann, four-wheel differential, tracked and omnidirectional.

The myCobot 280 M5 arm weighs 850 g, has a 250 g payload and a 280 mm working radius, and accepts various end effectors.

The robot is programmed in Python and C++, with ROS 2 support and the RViz, Nav2 and Gazebo tools.

Key advantages and technical performance of the LIMO Cobot mobile robot

Mobile grasping: the 6-axis arm picks up objects precisely while the robot moves.

Autonomous mapping: builds accurate maps of its surroundings (SLAM) for navigation in complex spaces.

Obstacle avoidance: perceives its surroundings and changes its route to complete tasks safely.

Visual recognition: depth camera and NVIDIA Orin Nano for object identification.

4 driving modes: Ackermann, four-wheel differential, tracked and omnidirectional with Mecanum wheels.

Stable base: four hub motors for smooth movement on different types of terrain.

Open-source: ROS, ROS 2, Gazebo, RViz, Nav2, Python and C++.

Learning resources: online video tutorials and text tutorials from the manufacturer.

Applications and use cases of the LIMO Cobot mobile robot

Mobile manipulation: picking up and moving objects between different points.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LIMO Cobot

A compound mobile robot: the myCobot 280 M5 6-axis arm mounted on the LIMO PRO autonomous mobile base.

What payload can the arm handle

Up to 250 g, with a 280 mm working radius.

Which sensors does it have

EAI T-mini Pro LiDAR, Orbbec Dabai depth camera and IMU, with processing on an NVIDIA Orin Nano.

What driving modes does it support

Ackermann, four-wheel differential, tracked and omnidirectional. The Mecanum wheels and tracks are included.

Which end effectors can it use

Grippers (adaptive, parallel, flexible), suction pumps and the camera flange from the myCobot 280 accessory range.

How is it programmed

In Python and C++, with ROS 2 support and the RViz, Nav2 and Gazebo tools.

How does it differ from a fixed robotic arm

A fixed arm works only within its reach, while the LIMO Cobot moves on its own to the object, picks it up and carries it.
