Application contexts / 03

Start with the field.
Engineer the motion.

Match the mobile platform to the route, terrain, task, payload, and integration plan.

Application framework

One platform decision shapes the entire robot.

Use the application brief to identify the right motion architecture before product selection or customization begins.

01

Operating environment

Indoor or outdoor, surface type, obstacles, slope, access, and weather exposure.

02

Mechanical requirements

Verified payload, dimensions, center of gravity, mounting, and task equipment.

03

Motion behavior

Route geometry, turning envelope, steering strategy, and duty cycle.

04

System integration

Power, control interface, sensing, compute, and secondary development boundaries.

Application directions

Design around the operating context.
