Topy's crawler robot modules, the brainchild of the HiBot-Topy Project, provide superior mobility support for your robot development needs.
When mobility counts, a robot needs a sturdy, reliable undercarriage. The HiBot-Topy Project is a joint project between HiBot Corporation - an academic venture of Tokyo Institute of Technology's Hirose-Fukushima Lab, renowned for its work rescue robot R&D - and Topy Industries, with its years of experience manufacturing crawlers for construction machinery. The project's high-performance modularized crawlers help reduce the time and cost of researching and developing robots that require advance mobile capabilities.
Five Key Features of Our Crawler Robots
- They are the first crawler robot modules in Japan, combining compact, ultra-lightweight design and high mobility.
- Their high-traction rollers - able to climb steps of up to 1.3 times the crawler radius - redefine the limits of crawler climbing capabilities.
- They support easy-to-use wireless LAN-based remote control as well as wired remote control.
- They come in four different types - small, large, extra large, and flipper - and can also be made to order.
- They can be outfitted with a full range of options to suit your development needs.
Supporting National Projects
This is the IRS Soryu, a rescue robot developed as part of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Special Large City Earthquake Disaster Mitigation Project."
It is being researched jointly with Dr. Shigeo Hirose of the Tokyo Institute of Technology and the International Rescue System Institute.
The goal of the Soryu development project is to create a practical robot that can work with fire rescue teams in disaster areas.
It is also part of the "Strategic Advanced Robot Element Technology Development Project" at the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), supporting the development of crawler robots.
