About
About Rover X1
Rover X1 combines four articulated legs with driven wheels at the feet, allowing it to roll efficiently across smooth surfaces and use leg motion for steps, slopes and uneven ground. Integrated vision supports autonomous following and filming, while programmable configurations expose the platform for navigation, perception and mobility development.
The robot reaches approximately 1.8 metres per second, climbs steps around 16 centimetres and handles inclines near 35 degrees. Payload mounting supports light carrying and sensor integration. Rover X1 is marketed through INFFNI, DOBOT’s consumer and developer robotics sub-brand.
