TimeSquare

A mobile marketing robot for trade fairs - it is designed to inform potential customers about products and innovations. Equipped with four 15" screens and a structure-borne sound transducer which acts as a loudspeaker in combination with the TimeSquare housing. The whole TimeSquare housing consists of more than 200 panels, which are illuminated by more than 1000 LED's.

Details

The robot weighs a total of 60 kg, so it needs a very powerful drive and enough energy to operate for an entire day at the fair. Accordingly, we had to develop a battery pack that is easy to manufacture and can provide the required power for the robot.

Features:

  • 3.6 kWh battery
  • Over 1000 individually controllable LED's
  • Control via web application
  • NVIDIA Jetson TX2
  • Autonomous driving with obstacle detection
