普象-让好设计发光

DEX is specifically designed to navigate the factories of the future. It reimagines the dexterity and intelligence of collaborative robots, as well as the worker’s relationship with them. Its form conveys a feeling of agility and robustness. The concept’s direction uses visual cues from automotive design to create a sense of wonder and excitement for the user. The use of angular surfaces reflects the technologically advanced capabilities.

The flat platform is designed to allow for the modular mounting of various attachments that complement its capabilities and provide greater flexibility. The bi-directional extendable legs give DEX its most distinctive feature. It is framed with side covers to reduce visual clutter and exhibit strength. The innovative leg movement allows the AMR to climb slopes and traverse diverse terrain. By integrating Schaeffler’s component, the platform self-levels with extraordinary ease.

This unique agility enhances DEX’s capability to move to uncharted grounds, a task that most wheeled robots are incapable of performing. With its 360-degree wheel steering, DEX has the ability to move across multiple degrees of freedom and reach areas with tight spaces for manoeuvring. A ring of LED lights on top syncs with the robot’s movements. Its intuitive light pattern communicates its intention, allowing for user-friendly operation and comfortable space- sharing.

DEX has a seamless way of understanding both non-verbal and verbal communication. With other robots, they work collectively to reduce the strain on workers. When in gesture mode, DEX automatically responds when a user stands in front of it and DEX is ready to receive commands. DEX can also be controlled using hand gestures and voice commands, thereby reducing the complexity of interacting with robots.

DEX是专门为未来工厂导航而设计的。它旨在将功能与智能社交行为相结合，重塑了协作机器人的灵活性和智能性，以及工人与机器人的关系。

扁平平台设计用于模块化安装各种附件，双向可伸缩支腿能够爬坡和穿越各种地形。通过整合舍弗勒的组件，平台可以非常轻松地实现自我升级。

凭借其360度方向盘，DEX能够在多个自由度之间移动，并到达空间狭小的区域进行操控，这是大多数轮式机器人无法完成的任务。同时，DEX还可以无缝地理解非语言和语言交流。通过手势和语音命令进行控制，甚至自动响应站在面前的用户并且准备接收命令，降低与机器人交互的复杂性。
