The Mecanum Rover G40A-LB is equipped with a 1440Wh (24V 60Ah) Li-Fe battery, which expands the battery capacity to approximately five times that of the basic model, the Mecanum Rover Ver.3.0, which has a capacity of 288Wh. According to actual measurements under our internal conditions, the operating time of the Mecanum Rover Ver.3.0 is about 28 hours, while this product achieves approximately 113 hours, resulting in about four times the operating time (actual operating time may vary significantly depending on the equipment mounted, operating programs, usage conditions, etc. Please consider this as a reference value only). In research and development robotic carts, various measuring instruments, as well as computing devices for image processing and information processing, are often mounted, and as the required processing becomes more advanced, there is a tendency for the equipment to become larger. The Mecanum Rover G40A-LB can achieve even longer operating times for applications that require the installation of many expansion devices.

This product features four mecanum wheels that allow for the free combination of forward, backward, left, right, and rotational movements. A significant characteristic is its ability to flexibly respond to external position control, enabling movement sideways or diagonally without changing the orientation of the main robot body. Additionally, it achieves a load capacity of approximately 40 kg, with a measured maximum speed of 1.6 m/s, making it suitable for large research and development carts while also accommodating practical and operational needs for serious demonstration experiments. *This product is not designed for passenger use.*

The 4WDS Rover X120A is equipped with a steering mechanism that can independently control all four drive wheels. By appropriately controlling the angle and rotation speed of each drive wheel, it allows for movement in the forward, backward, and sideways directions without changing the orientation of the cart robot, as well as enabling ultra-tight turns (turning in place) without skidding the wheels. Additionally, each wheel is equipped with a suspension mechanism, ensuring that all four wheels maintain proper contact with the ground, which enhances straight-line stability and control accuracy. Compared to other omnidirectional wheels like omni-wheels and mecanum wheels, the simplicity of the wheel structure makes it resistant to dirt and dust. *This product is intended for indoor use only. Outdoor use is not anticipated.*

The Mecanum Rover G40A-LB supports wireless communication via Wi-Fi and wired USB serial communication. By using specified commands, it can be controlled from various devices such as PCs and tablets. Additionally, the wireless controller for robots, "VS-C3," is included as standard, allowing the main unit to be operated wirelessly without connecting to a PC. It can also move forward and backward and rotate using an analog stick, making it usable for manual operation for testing purposes and as a means of operation in emergencies.
-
The control board "VS-WRC058c" equipped in this product features the ESP32-WROOM-32 microcontroller, allowing users to create control programs using the Arduino IDE. Sample code will be provided with the product in the form of an Arduino library, enabling users to customize the firmware themselves. *Note: When programming the VS-WRC058 using the Arduino IDE, an environment with Arduino IDE version 1.8.13 or higher is required.*
-
This product is equipped with a standard "emergency stop switch." Additionally, the installation position of the emergency stop switch can be freely changed as long as there are no issues with wiring length or interference with other devices. It is assumed that users will replace and use it according to the actual operational conditions and the installation status of any additional expansion devices.
-
The Mecanum Rover G40A-LB supports ROS 1 and ROS 2 message communication, allowing for ROS message communication using rosserial or micro-ROS by connecting to a device running ROS via Wi-Fi or a USB cable. The sample firmware enables the sending of movement speed command values to the Mecanum Rover using geometry_msgs/Twist or geometry_msgs/msg/Twist types, as well as retrieving the current speed and battery voltage from the Mecanum Rover. Additionally, by modifying the firmware, users can send and receive any desired messages beyond the aforementioned ones. Please note that a separate device to run ROS must be provided.
