According to a post on the "Astro Boy Robot" public account, a new iteration of the full-stack self-developed humanoid robot "ATOM01" was officially launched.The robot adopts bionic design in its mechanical structure.With the 7-degree-of-freedom dual-arm system, which highly replicates the movement patterns of human upper limbs, and combined with the intelligent collaborative control of 27 degrees of freedom of the whole body, it can realize cross-scale operations from precision assembly to heavy-duty handling.
The single arm has a load capacity of 12.5kg and an arm span of 616.5mm. It can handle chip-level precision components and is also capable of handling heavy materials such as automobile parts.
Its end-tool hot-swappable system enables switching in seconds—for example, from a heavy-duty gripper to a precision dexterous hand, greatly improving task switching efficiency.
In order to cope with the wide range of motion requirements such as low-position picking up that are common in industrial scenes, the R&D team innovatively adopted a high-stiffness Stewart parallel waist structure.
This design breaks through the bottleneck of "difficult to balance flexibility and stability" in traditional robot waists. While maintaining high load-bearing capacity, it significantly improves the accuracy of attitude control in dynamic movements.
Experimental data shows that this structure expands the robot's movement range by 37% when performing low-position operations, and the positioning error is controlled within 0.1mm.
In terms of environmental perception,ATOM01 is equipped with a lidar and stereo vision fusion system that can construct centimeter-level precision maps in real time in complex dynamic environments.
Its scene understanding algorithm can not only identify stationary equipment and moving objects, but also predict the movement trajectories of AGVs and people through machine learning. With this predictive obstacle avoidance capability, the robot can reduce the risk of collision by 92% in human-machine collaborative operation scenarios, while maintaining more than 95% mission continuity.
The power control system combines multi-level closed-loop architecture and full-joint torque sensing technology to achieve microsecond-level motion jitter suppression. In the precision insertion test, the robot can control the pin positioning error within ±0.02mm.
When performing force-controlled grinding operations, the surface roughness uniformity can reach 98% of the level of human craftsmen, making it a significant advantage in high-precision fields such as 3C electronics and automobile manufacturing.
The computing platform uses a heterogeneous architecture of 8-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU and NVIDIA 1792 CUDA core GPU, providing end-side AI computing power of up to 170TOPS.
The system is natively compatible with the ROS 2 robot operating system and opens up a full-stack tool chain from hardware drivers to task orchestration. Developers can quickly customize industrial solutions based on the open source SDK.
At present, ATOM01 has entered many manufacturing companies for field testing, and has performed well in scenarios such as auto parts assembly and 3C product testing.
