About

About SUMMIT-XL STEEL

SUMMIT-XL STEEL is a steel-framed omnidirectional unmanned ground vehicle introduced by Robotnik for indoor logistics, service-robotics integration and research. The platform carries up to 200 kg and uses a ROS-based modular control architecture, with an industrial safety PLC and interfaces for additional sensors or manipulators.

The standard configuration combines two 2D laser scanners with an inertial unit for autonomous or remote navigation. An optional IP65 configuration improves protection against dust and liquids, while rubber wheels convert the base from omnidirectional motion to skid steering for rougher outdoor terrain. Robotnik specified up to ten hours of continuous movement with the enlarged battery space.

Research

  • Safe and Robust Map Updating for Long-Term Operations in Dynamic Environments

    2023-06-30 - Research Publication - A LiDAR-based occupancy-grid method updates maps during long-term mobile-robot operation while checking localisation uncertainty. It pauses updates when pose errors could corrupt the map and adds pose recovery, evaluated in warehouse simulation and laboratory sensor recordings.

  • Efficient 2D LIDAR-Based Map Updating For Long-Term Operations in Dynamic Environments

    2022-10-23 - Research Publication - A memory-limited LiDAR method updates an existing occupancy-grid map as obstacles change while filtering temporary moving objects and accommodating localisation and measurement errors. The authors evaluate map quality and localisation in warehouse simulation and Summit-XL-Steel laboratory experiments.
