Marsmarch

Marsmarch is a modular multi-cabin delivery robot designed for hotels. Nine cabins hold items of different categories, so several orders can be carried at the same time. A multi-task concurrent scheduling system provides real-time route planning and continuous delivery to several rooms. The robot can also collect food from a multi-cabin storage cabinet and bring it to a guest room, which keeps the whole delivery contactless. The body is made of eco-friendly plastics with a sprayed and cast finish. Modular cabinets and shared components reduce production costs.

Pikapoo

With nearly 900 million dogs owned worldwide, dog waste management has become a growing environmental concern. Research indicates that up to 50% of owners neglect cleanup in secluded areas due to inconvenience or misinformation. Pikapoo introduces a smart robotic solution consisting of the PooBot, an autonomous robot that locates and collects dog waste, and the PooBase, a connected composting unit that transforms waste into fertilizer. The entire system is managed via a user-friendly mobile application.

Aris-Idc

Aris-Idc is an inspection robot developed for large data centers. The robot moves autonomously through the data room and monitors equipment, sound, gas and temperature in real time. A high-definition wide-angle camera records the servers in each cabinet, and image recognition software compares the indicator lights with preset settings to diagnose the running status. Results are shown in a software management system, and errors are reported to maintenance staff at once. Continuous unmanned inspection reduces heavy manual work in remote data centers.

GS S One

GS-S One is a cleaning robot designed for large office spaces. Sweeping, scrubbing, mopping and vacuuming are integrated in one compact machine measuring 550 by 450 by 580 millimeters. Automatic path planning, elevator calling and close-to-edge cleaning are supported, and the cleaning mode is switched according to the floor type. The Auto Spot Cleaning mode scans the surroundings and cleans detected waste and stains. Multi-robot coordination is achieved through a cloud platform, allowing unattended cleaning across several floors.

Solar Mars Bot

Solar Mars Bot is a mobile energy storage robot that combines solar power generation, battery storage and charging in one unit. Six photovoltaic panels on the top are moved by connecting rod motors, and a light tracking sensor finds the best angle to the sun. The energy storage module uses lithium iron phosphate cells for a long cycle life. Laser radar and a camera module allow the robot to avoid obstacles outdoors and to plan a route to the user. Charging is started automatically when the stored power is low.

Mobile Robot SRC-3000F

SRC-3000FS is a safety controller for mobile robots. The controller combines navigation and functional safety functions in one unit. Several navigation modes, including SLAM, are supported. A safety PLC, an industrial computer, a switch, an input output board, a gyroscope and a power module are integrated inside, which keeps the housing compact and the wiring simple. The body measures 220 by 130 by 60 millimeters and is made of metal with a matte, non-sprayed ABS surface. The rating is IP65. Forklifts, cleaning robots and other industrial machines can be controlled.

Cos Conveyer Pro

Cos Conveyer Pro is a goods transfer vehicle designed for warehouses, factories and logistics centers. The vehicle moves packages from one truck to another with a folding conveyor platform that extends according to the distance between the vehicles. Adjustable tire arms change the platform height, so trucks with different unloading levels can be linked. Modular intelligent carts then carry the goods to shelves and other distribution points. The system reduces manual handling, shortens transfer time and supports worker safety.

Honeycomb

Honeycomb is a modular unmanned aerial vehicle designed to perform several tasks. The frame has a hexagonal shape, inspired by a bee honeycomb, and can be expanded by adding more units. Functional modules for fire protection, public announcement, seeding, ultraviolet sterilization, spraying and delivery are held in the middle of the frame by strong magnets. A larger number of modules increases the carrying capacity. A built-in Bluetooth connection allows the position to be monitored. The drone measures 815 mm long, 815 mm wide and 363 mm high.

Cola

Cola is a food delivery robot designed for hotels, restaurants and other indoor spaces. The shape is inspired by the rook chess piece, with a smooth cylindrical body and a four-layer tray that allows delivery to four tables in one trip. Sensors support autonomous positioning, navigation and collision avoidance. Voice interaction and visual recognition allow guests to be greeted from two meters away. The body is made of high-strength ABS through an integrated molding process. Cola is intended to raise service efficiency and reduce operating costs.

DeliverE

DeliverE is an autonomous mail delivery vehicle designed for postal services. The compact mini-van is driven by an electric motor. Energy is supplied by a curved solar panel on the roof, which captures sunlight from many angles during the day. Backup batteries are placed in the lower powertrain. Inside the vehicle, a roll conveyor is loaded at the post office following a planned GPS sequence. DeliverE then travels to each address without a driver, and a text message informs the recipient on arrival. The silhouette recalls a classic mailman hat.

Robot Manipulator

Robot Manipulator is a handheld control device for operating a medical robotic arm. The body is made of carbon fiber and aluminum, a combination that increases strength and reduces weight. The device is held and moved by the hand, and many sensors inside convert hand movements into signals. The signals are sent to a processor, which controls the robotic arm along multiple dimensions and coordinates. The robotic arm returns feedback that matches the hand movement. Precise tasks can be carried out at a distance, including work in dangerous conditions.

Aurora Number One

Aurora Number One is an autonomous cleaning robot designed for residential and commercial communities. Sweeping and mopping are performed at the same time, so most common waste is removed in one pass. The mophead is self-cleaned and air-dried at the base station, which prevents secondary pollution and slippery floors. Edge cleaning reaches a minimum distance of one centimetre, reducing missed corners. The robot takes elevators on its own, detects the level of stains and repeats cleaning when needed. The design supports cleaning staff where labour is scarce.
