../_images/E100-elite.JPG

Overview

RIA E100 Elite comprises of base platform where its chases made of aluminum material that is equipped with two driving wheels at front and two cluster free wheels at rear. It is powered by Intel i5 processor with 8GB ram and 120GB SSD. This version comes with Astra Orbbec RGBD camera, IMU , 2D Lidar sensor and one joystick controller. It has three power slots of 24V*, 12V and 5V fused at 5A each for user which are used for powering integration of additional components over it.

Main Power Switch : Overall power switch that let whole system to get power from battery source Emergency Stop Button: Enabling this button will let robot stop until it is released. Battery LED status: A LED with multicolor displays the status of battery. Status indications are as follows according to battery percentages

  • 100% to 50% : solid GREEN
  • 50% to 20% : LED converts from solid GREEN to solid RED
  • 20% to 10% : solid RED
  • < 10% : Blinking RED (Charging at this stage is mandatory by turning off the robot.

Charging Plug: Charging port to charge the robot using provided smart charger. RPLIDAR are dedicated to above shown USB ports and must follow the same position.
