Panther Equipment Options
The Panther v1.2 platform can be configured with options that significantly increase the comfort and ease of working with the robot during the development of solutions and various tests and experiments. We have created this set of ready-made solutions based on our own and our clients' experiences to make work with Panther even more efficient.
PTH1.2
Panther v1.2 mobile platform is an industrial-grade, professional UGV designed with an outdoor environment in mind. It is an autonomous, open-source robot platform running ROS (Robot Operating System). The base platform integrates:
- Built-in Computer: Raspberry Pi 4B with Broadcom BCM2711 processor, quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz, and 4GB LPDDR4 RAM.
- Router: Teltonika RUTX11 - Dual-band (2.4 GHz/5 GHz), Access Point / Client Mode, 4G LTE CAT 6 dual SIM, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS)
- 4x Brushless Motor with planetary gearbox
- Inertial navigation system: PhidgetSpatial 3/3/3 Precision (3-axis compass, a 3-axis gyroscope, and a 3-axis accelerometer)
- Logitech F710 gamepad for manual control.
More information can be found in the Panther manual.
Rate of Protection (IP)
You can choose from the following methods to finalize the basic version of the Panther robot. Two types of device protection are available to suit the working conditions, following the guidelines of IEC 60529.
IP54
Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it does not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment. This rating ensures complete protection against contact with tools and the ingress of objects. The enclosure also guards against the harmful effects of water splashing from any direction.
IP66
This rating guarantees that no dust can penetrate the enclosure, providing complete protection against contact with its interior components. Furthermore, the enclosure is fortified to endure powerful water jets projected from a 12.5 mm nozzle, originating from any direction, without causing harm.
Colors (COL)
We provide an option to choose the colors of the robot which will match your requirements.
COL01 - Standard
Standard colors - the bottom of the robot is creamy white (RAL9001) and the top of the robot is pure red (RAL3028). The elements inside of the robot are painted only in creamy white.
COL02 - Custom
Customized colors - the colors of those elements that are visible from the outside can be customized, but the color of the interior cannot be changed.
Battery (BAT)
If you need to use the robot for a long time without charging, you can enlarge the Battery inside the robot. A larger Battery can also be useful when the robot will work under a heavy load or will power energy-intensive devices. Detailed information about battery power consumption can be found in docs and links section of the Panther manual.
BAT01 - 720Wh
Standard 720Wh Li-Ion battery pack - as a default option for Panther it guarantees 3.5 h of work time.
BAT02 - 1440Wh
Enlarged 1440Wh Li-Ion battery pack - a bigger Battery increases Panthers' work time by up to 8 hours. When creating your configuration please take into consideration that it takes up more space in the robot, therefore this option is not available with the option PC03 (Lenovo ThinkStation P360 Tiny).
Wheels (WH)
Depending on your application, you can adapt your Panther to a completely different type of terrain by choosing a suitable set of wheels.
WH01 - Standard Pneumatic Wheels
Standard off-road wheels (with 145/70-6 tire) - large pneumatic tires perform well in mixed terrain. They provide both low rolling resistance on hard terrain and high traction off-road. Thanks to the large ground clearance, the robot is able to overcome thresholds, and obstacles like branches and rocks or even climb stairs. A recommended tire pressure for WH01 option is 1.0 to 1.5 bar (14 to 22 psi).
WH02 - Mecanum Wheels
Mecanum wheels (8”) - the use of wheels with freely rotating rollers gives the robot an additional axis of freedom - allows the robot to move sideways. Moreover, the resistance at turning on the spot is almost the same as when driving straight. These wheels are perfect for flat concrete surfaces where maneuverability is the most required.
WH03 - Standard + Mecanum
Replaceable set 4x off-road + 4x mecanum - this option provides customers with two available sets of wheels: large pneumatic tires and mecanum wheels.
Warranty (WAR)
WAR01 - 1 Year
1-year standard warranty
WAR02 - 2 Years
2-year extended warranty - to enjoy the high level of technical service of your robots longer.
Wireless charger (WCH)
This system is powered by WiBotic wireless charging system and comprises two main components. One is installed in the robot and another is the ground station for charging the robot. WCH01 receiver is required for each robot in your fleet but you don't necessarily need as many ground stations as robots. The wireless charger supports the same power (about 200W) as the conventional wired charger, which is supplied with the robot as a backup charger.
See more information on the dedicated page: Wireless charger
WCH01 - Receiver
