- Efficient deployment and high-fidelity simulation, accelerating algorithm development and validation
- Support for International Competitions, such as the IEEE ICRA 2025 Sim-to-Real Challenge (initiated in ICRA 2022) and the IROS 2025 Robotic Construction Challenge (starting from IROS 2024, coming soon).
- Intelligent Robotics Education
- Full support and resources for teaching in the field of robotics, with succesful course examples such as: Principles and Experience of Smart Building Blocks, Intelligent System Design and Practice, and more.
- Applications Exploration
- More exciting discussions and explorations on AIRBOT's applications in intelligent inspection and maintenance, agricultural automation harvesting, flexible manufacturing in industry, and intelligent services in the food and beverage sector are currently underway. We welcome your participation and commitment!
Key Features#
- Lightweight and High-Integration Design: AIRBOT Play Pro features a unique lightweight design with high integration, offering a high load-to-weight ratio while maintaining safety, reliability, ease of use, and portability. It can be mounted on various mobile platforms, such as wheeled robots, quadruped robots, and drones, enabling versatile movement and task completion in different environments.
- Versatile Platform and Development Support: AIRBOT Play Pro supports a wide range of mobile platforms, processors, sensors, and actuators. It offers multiple API interfaces as well, including Python, ROS/ROS2, C++ and Web development kit, enabling easy secondary development support, including easy access to the robot's status and issue commands to control its movements. Users can develop their own programs on the host computer to implement specific functions and control the robot by calling the SDK.
- Integration of open-sourced DISCOVERSE Simulator for Real2Sim2Real Learning: The DISCOVERSE simulator provides a unified, modular solution for Real2Sim2Real robot learning. The real-world AIRBOT Play Pro is fully aligned with its simulated model in the simulator, ensuring efficient and reliable transfer between simulated and real-world environments. Additionally, a Real-to-Sim environment service is available, allowing users to reconstruct and import their own scene into the simulator for customized, high-fedility simulations.
