Mobile Manipulator

A customized mobile manipulator platform.

Mobile Manipulator Platform
Automation that moves beyond fixed equipment

A mobile manipulator is not a single product, but a customized system that integrates AMR-based mobility and robotic manipulation technologies.

Rainbow Robotics integrates autonomous mobile robots, collaborative and dual-arm robots, control software, and safety technologies with its own core technologies to design mobile manipulation systems optimized for site conditions.

Components

The mobile manipulator is configured through the following module combinations.

Mobility Base

- Autonomous AMR-based platform
- Base selection according to load, precision, and driving environment

Manipulation System

- Collaborative robots, dual-arm robots, and special arm configurations
- Designed according to work range, degrees of freedom, and payload

End-Effector

- Grippers, suction, and tool-changing structures
- Custom design for the work objective

Perception System

- 2D/3D LiDAR, vision, and force sensors
- Environment perception that considers both mobility and manipulation

Control & Safety System

- Real-time control architecture
- Functional safety, emergency stop, and safety-zone setup

Software Platform

- SLAM / Navigation - Web SW/FMS
- Manipulation control - Simulation

Mobile manipulation applications configured on site

The cases below are representative configurations. In actual applications, the system is designed around process, environment, and work conditions.

  • Machine Tending Automation

    A configuration that mounts a robot arm on a mobile platform and performs loading and unloading while moving sequentially between multiple machines.

  • Process-linked manipulation and transfer system

    A system that integrates material transfer and manipulation into one robot to continuously connect movement and work between processes.

  • Mobile picking and material-handling automation

    A flexible logistics automation scenario that moves through warehouses and lines while performing picking and loading tasks.

SLAM-based position and route control for linked mobility and manipulation

Sensor-fusion SLAM algorithms provide accurate localization and route generation in complex indoor environments while securing the positioning accuracy required for mobile manipulation.

3

Control architecture that integrates mobility and manipulation into one workflow

The system integrates mobile-base driving and robot-arm manipulation into one work sequence, providing consistent control quality from approach to completion.

4

Hardware and software expandability based on in-house technology

Core technologies including motors, drives, control boards, autonomous navigation, manipulation, and integrated-control software are developed in-house for easier expansion and customization.

5

Functional safety and sensor design for environments shared with people

2D/3D LiDAR and vision-sensor-based perception enable predictive safety behavior such as slowing, stopping, and avoidance during both movement and manipulation.

6

Robot operation and validation software stack

A web-based fleet management system and simulation-based pre-validation reduce deployment risk and improve field completeness.
