en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's SLAMTEC has officially launched the Poseidon, a new-generation robot mobile chassis designed for emerging forms such as embodied intelligence and wheeled humanoid robots. This platform aims to provide flexible, stable, and safe mobility for robots in complex environments, responding to the industry's shift from "being able to move" to "moving efficiently."
Over the past decade, SLAMTEC has continuously accumulated technology around autonomous robot mobility. Its Zeus series products (from Apollo, Athena, to Hermes, Phoebus) have provided developers with perception, positioning, navigation, and mobility support. Poseidon is SLAMTEC's latest answer to mobility, designed from the outset to offer developers a more flexible, stable, open, and easily deployable mobile platform, helping partners invest more resources in core business innovation rather than rebuilding foundational mobility capabilities.
Poseidon adopts a four-wheel independent steering architecture, supporting various motion modes such as in-place rotation, lateral movement, diagonal driving, and omnidirectional motion. This enhances the robot's maneuverability and passability in confined spaces like elevators, corridors, and shelf aisles. In terms of motion control, the platform is equipped with a high-performance motion control system, enabling precise trajectory tracking, smooth acceleration and deceleration control, highly consistent motion performance, and omnidirectional attitude stabilization.
In terms of perception, Poseidon leverages SLAMTEC's expertise in LiDAR and robot perception to build a comprehensive environmental perception system, achieving multi-directional environmental detection, dynamic obstacle recognition, real-time safe obstacle avoidance, and full-scenario operational protection. The platform comes standard with front and rear dual LiDARs (optional 3D multi-line LiDAR), dual depth vision sensors, and 8 ultrasonic sensors (2 each on front/rear/left/right), constructing a 360-degree perception system with no blind spots. Combined with SLAMTEC's self-developed SLAM algorithm, it can stably identify dynamic and static obstacles, and can optionally use cameras to detect low-lying obstacles and cliff drops.
To meet the needs of high-load, high-center-of-gravity applications like wheeled humanoid robots, Poseidon has been specifically optimized for load capacity, stability, and motion control performance while maintaining motion flexibility. The platform adopts an open modular architecture design, supporting standardized interfaces, flexible expansion capabilities, and compatibility with mainstream development environments. SLAMTEC provides a full-featured software stack, covering SLAM mapping, path planning, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and multi-robot scheduling. It natively supports ROS/ROS2 and comes with a mature SDK, reducing the development cycle for the main body to as little as one month. Additionally, SLAMTEC has a mature and stable supply chain system, establishing strategic partnerships with leading component companies, and offering full-process services from product customization and certification testing to contract manufacturing, helping customers move from prototype validation to large-scale commercial deployment.
Poseidon can be widely applied in scenarios such as wheeled humanoid robots, service robots, industrial inspection robots, logistics handling robots, and scientific research and education platforms, helping developers quickly complete the entire process from prototype validation to scenario deployment.
SLAMTEC is a high-tech enterprise focused on robot perception and mobility, with products covering LiDAR, spatial perception, autonomous navigation, robot chassis, and related solutions. As a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise specializing in new and distinctive technologies, it has long served global robot developers and industry clients, committed to promoting the industrialization of robot technology.
