About
About TRON 1
The chassis measures no more than 392 by 420 by 845 millimetres and weighs up to 20 kilograms. A 46.8-volt, 4.5-Ah battery supports a published operating period of up to two hours, while the platform carries up to 10 kilograms. Wheeled configuration speed reaches three metres per second under LimX laboratory conditions.
Point feet, flat soles and wheels change the contact geometry without requiring a separate robot. Developers receive onboard computing, an SDK, data tools, simulation support and access to joint control. Published limits for speed, climbing and obstacle traversal vary by end configuration and environment, so they describe the tested developer system and should not be read as deployed task performance.
