Ascento Research

Ascento Research: The versatile robot for research and development

The Ascento Research is a state-of-the-art mobile robot specifically designed for research and development tasks. Based on the proven technology of the Ascento Pro, the Ascento Research offers the same advanced features but with an open-source architecture that allows developers and researchers to customize and expand the software and hardware to meet their specific requirements. Whether for security applications, inspection tasks, or innovative projects, the Ascento Research is the ideal platform for developing and testing new technologies.

Key Features:

Unique Mobility through Wheels and Legs: The Ascento Research utilizes a combination of wheels and legs, providing it with exceptional agility and stability. The wheels allow for fast travel on flat surfaces, while the legs can overcome obstacles such as stairs or uneven terrain. This hybrid locomotion technology makes it ideal for use in a wide range of environments.

Autonomous Navigation:

Equipped with advanced sensors and a powerful navigation system, the Ascento Research can autonomously navigate through complex environments. It plans routes, detects and avoids obstacles, and returns to its base station as needed. This capability makes it ideal for continuous research tasks.

Versatile Monitoring with Cameras and Sensors:

The Ascento Research is equipped with a variety of cameras and sensors:

• Optional Thermal Camera: Detects temperature differences and is ideal for monitoring at night or in poorly lit environments.
• Optional RGB Camera: A high-resolution color camera for documentation and visual monitoring.
• Optional Infrared Camera: Complements the RGB camera and enables the robot to operate in complete darkness.
• Optional Lidar Sensors: Support environmental detection and autonomous navigation by creating a detailed 3D map of the surroundings.

Rugged Construction for Outdoor Use:

The Ascento Research is weatherproof and designed for outdoor use. It withstands harsh environmental conditions such as rain, snow, and dust, making it suitable for long-term outdoor operation.

Long Battery Life and Energy Efficiency:

With long battery life, the Ascento Research is capable of operating autonomously for hours. When the battery runs low, the robot automatically returns to its charging station to ensure it is always ready for use.

Open-Source Platform for Research and Development:

The Ascento Research offers an open-source architecture that allows developers and researchers to customize and expand the software and hardware to meet their specific requirements. This flexibility makes it the ideal platform for developing and testing new technologies and applications.
