Geko is a mobile robotic platform, developed by Nuzoo robotics. Totally open and expressly thought for the development of application of third parts. Thanks to a great versatility, both hardware and software, it can be used in different situations. Perfect for research field, Geko ensures a large expandability thanks to the use of components open-source.
ADVANTAGES
Easy installation
Quick and easy installation thanks to the innovative use of interactive visual markers and sound indications of the robot
ROS Based
System based on the ROS operating system to allow maximum expandability according to the standard www.ros.org
Anti overturning
Equipped with patented stabilizing and self-balancing system
Energy saving
The dedicated power supply system analyzes and manages consumption up to 5 independent channels. Autonomy of over 8 hours and recharge in less than 2 hours.

The robot recharges the battery in complete autonomy, using its own docking station.
Multiple connection frequencies, Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz, 3G/4G, guarantee an optimal connection in every situation.
Manual , with Joystick, mouse or touch screen; Smart Drive : for an assisted navigation, thanks to the Google Street View style controls; Autonomous : Geko is able to move independently following a pre-established path.CONTROL MODE
Through Geko's Web Control Interface the remote operator has full control over the movements of the robot; navigation assistance systems are disabled. This mode is useful for controlling RaRo in case of restricted spaces or with many obstacles. In this mode you can also control the robot through a Joypad.
Using the laser scanner, Geko is able to assist the remote operator during navigation: avoiding obstacles, following corridors or perimeter walls, facilitating entry through the gates and blocking in the event of sudden obstacles. This is the most used mode by making RaRo remote control particularly simple, thanks to the Google Street View style interface.
Geko is able to move independently by following a predetermined path (security patrol). There is no need for remote operator intervention, you can control the status of the robot as well as stream through your systems through the management API.
