Product introduction

About PND Adam

  • The whole body is composed of up to 41 quasi-direct drive flexible force-controlled actuators.
    • Adam Lite: 25 degrees of freedom.
    • Adam Standard: 29 degrees of freedom.
    • Adam SP: 41 degrees of freedom.
  • Height: 1.67m, weight: 60kg.
  • The legs use four quasi-direct drive force-controlled joints with the highest torque density in the industry and a 7-speed ratio and high sensitivity.
  • The arms have up to 19 degrees of freedom.
    • Adam Lite: 5 degrees of freedom.
    • Adam Standard: 7 degrees of freedom.
    • Adam SP: 19 degrees of freedom.
  • The waist has 3 degrees of freedom.
  • Can achieve humanoid motion control.
  • Fully modular and highly reusable flexible actuators, which greatly facilitate large-scale mass production.
  • Thanks to the high-torque-density actuators, the robot body can achieve a human-like body weight and height.
  • Highly bionic torso configuration.
  • The whole body uses the fully self-developed high-real-time communication network PND-Network, ensuring the high dynamic performance and communication reliability of the robot.
  • PND-Network has better expansion performance and can add sensors such as encoders, lidars, and vision cameras all over the body.
  • The robot motion controller (cerebellum) uses the latest 12th-generation Intel NUC12WSKi7 + self-developed RCU.
  • The RCU contains all actuators, battery BMS, and power management of the power adapter. It is a high-performance 16-port Ethernet programmable switch with network management functions (the perception and control neural network center of the robot).
  • Adam Standard/SP: The robot brain uses an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB embedded computer for AI computing, vision processing, and upper-level decision-making.
  • Adam Standard/SP: The perception sensor is equipped with an Intel Realsense D455 depth camera.
  • External communication includes 5G cellular network, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.0, which is easy for remote real-time control and debugging.
  • High-robustness self-developed WBC (whole-body dynamics control) + MPC (model prediction) control algorithm for robot dynamic balance and obstacle crossing.
  • The industry's most advanced reinforcement learning motion control algorithm, imitation learning algorithm, large-scale parallel dynamics simulation and neural network training framework for realizing diversified whole-body motion control that can be truly used in actual service scenarios and adapting to complex and changeable human social scenarios.
