Hardware Components and Wiring

Hardware Components

The vehicle is assembled using core components and optional supplementary components. The core components include the chassis and other essential parts. Supplementary components, such as the LiDAR and 5G/LTE module, are optional and can be selected based on your specific requirements.

Supplementary: LiDAR Sensors

When choosing a LiDAR sensor, it depends on the specific localization method and desired vision quality. If point cloud-based NDT localization is used, the Velodyne VLP-32C LiDAR is often selected for its panoramic view. In contrast, solid-state LiDARs offer higher point density, making them better suited for detailed scene and object feature extraction, as well as vision-based localization that collaborates with cameras.

LiDAR Sensor
(Choose one of below)
Seyond Robin-WSolid-State LiDAR with 120° FOV
Blickfeld Cube 1Solid-State LiDAR with 70° FOV. (EOL)
Velodyne VLP-32CMechanical spinning LiDAR with 360° (EOL)

Supplementary: 5G/LTE Communication

The Ataya 5G Harmony kit was successfully deployed on the vehicle and underwent examination by NEWSLab at National Taiwan University. The following table lists the key components of the 5G kit. For more detailed specifications and quotes, please visit Ataya's website. Additionally, consulting the Global Mobile Frequencies Database at Spectrum Monitoring to know available bands in your region.

Procurement Information

The vehicle can be ordered through Hennes Co., including customizable options for additional parts. Note that batteries are excluded from assembly due to shipping constraints and should be sourced locally. You can request a quote via their Robot Kingdom website.

The optional supplementary parts such as LiDARs and 5G modules are up to your specific needs. It is advised to consult with your local agent for procurement assistance.
