Students and researchers at Singapore Polytechnic developed an intelligent outdoor autonomous mobile robot for campus delivery. The robot is capable of autonomously navigating to its destination with collision avoidance. The robot can carry up to 10 kg and 30 kg of payload based on the SCOUT MINI and SCOUT robots, respectively.

By combining GPS/RTK navigation with 3D lidar-based collision avoidance, the robot can navigate autonomously within the campus where a GPS signal is accessible. GPS/RTK navigation can achieve an accuracy of up to 1 cm with an update rate of up to 10 Hz, communicating with the Singapore SLA RTK service.

Singapore Polytechnic sends its students and researchers to work with Weston Robot engineers to accelerate the pace of development. The industry-academia partnership is a great tool to help students bridge the gap between academia and industry. Weston Robot has trained dozens of students from local high schools to prepare them for careers in robotics.
