Androver II
Androver II is a prototype of an autonomous mobile four-wheeled robot with artificial intelligence designed primarily for the outdoor environment. It is a universal rover that can be customized to fulfill different types of tasks. Its use depends on the tools and sensory equipment that are optional depending on the client’s requirements. It is possible to add a robotic arm, cutting tools, camera, scanner, GPS and other components which it uses for own movement.
Androver II can be used, for example, in a vineyard, where the robot can move autonomously and cultivate land. The robot has also undergone landfill testing for a team of geologists to investigate whether the subsoil is well insulated and safe for nature. Androver II took a day and night test at the European Space Agency at the DECOS complex on a simulated Moon surface for the simulated space mission of the Slovak astrobiologist Michaela Musilova. The robot is also used for educational purposes.
Chassis design and construction, hardware components, sensor equipment, control system implementation as well as software solutions are all developed by RoboTech Vision. We can say that the robot embodies the company’s gained know-how. Technologies such as Java, C, C ++, Python, ROS, OpenCV, Tensorflow, Prolog and others have been used for its development. The robot can be controlled by a joystick, by an Android application or can move autonomously. The company develops the rover to enable communication through voice commands as well.
Features
Features that distinguish Androver II from competing robots in the same category.
Customizable
For example, Androver II can be customized to a vineyard where the robot can move autonomously and cultivate soil. The robot can be also used in a landfill where it has been tested for a team of geologists. Androver II is also being used for educational purposes.
Simple
Androver II can be controlled by a joystick in a teleoperator device or by using an Android app on a tablet. The rover can also move autonomously, it is also possible to communicate with it through voice commands. Everyone can learn how to control it.
Fast
As one of the few mobile robots, Androver II can move up to 35 kilometers per hour. Therefore, the robot can move quickly from A to B. Its dexterity is ensured by the engines in the wheels, the kinematics of the chassis, the low center of gravity and the robot can handle the unevenness of the terrain thanks to the suspension.
Safe
The RoboTech Vision company products are made to relieve people of monotonous, difficult or dangerous jobs. They are therefore developed with regard to user safety. The robot is equipped with mechanical brakes and an emergency button for immediate stopping of the robot.
Affordable
Androver II is due to its equipment and use one of the most affordable mobile robots on the domestic and foreign markets. The price of the robot depends on the equipment that is implemented for it due to a desired function. The prices are therefore individual for each client.
how does it work?
Androver II consists of four parts that are connected. The sensor system sends the collected data to the computer, which sends the voltage to the controllers in the hardware that is controlled by human or autonomously.
Sensory system
Interaction with environment
The sensor system includes a camera, scanner, GPS, IMU (accelerometer, magnetoscope, and gyroscope) to collect data from the environment and send it to the computer.
Computer
Data processing
The robot‘s computer processes localization, navigation, mapping, object recognition from sensors, includes AI, algorithms, and sends packets to controllers based on them.
Hardware
Running of robot
The hardware consists of a chassis with controllers that control the drives. They transmit voltage to servo and BLDC motors. There are also a brake system and batteries in the hardware.
Control
Robot Control
The robot can be controlled via a box or Android application. Both are connected to a computer via WiFi and LoR. The robot can also be controlled by voice commands and can move autonomously.

ANDROVER II
The basic model of Androver II is a development platform mainly for educational purposes and further development. Any part of the robot equipment list can be added to the model according to requests. Technical support is also included in the package.
Including:
- • Depending on your choice
ANDROVER II
Androver II Vineyard kit is able to move autonomously in the vineyard rows and cut the grass. The robot can go from row to row on its own. The cutting tool can be customized to the width of the row and the robot can adjust it to the desired height of grass.
Including:
- • Software pack
- • Velodyne
- • IMU
- • GPS
- • Cutting tool
ANDROVER II
The autonomous model of Androver II moves independently thanks to the visual system on the route to the specified destination. The robot can avoid static obstacles. The user can plan the robot’s route and can determine the direction of movement on crossroads. The collision-free movement of the robot in the environment is ensured by lidar, which detects obstacles.
Including:
- • Software pack
- • Hokuyo laser scanner
- • Axis camera
- • GPS
- • IMU
ANDROVER II
Androver II’ s autonomous model with artificial intelligence can recognize objects and dynamic obstacles such as pedestrians and cars. The robot can moreover determine their direction of movement and avoid them. Thanks to AI-Box, it is also possible to add also other intelligent algorithms, for example face recognition.
Including:
- • Software pack
- • Hokuyo laser scanner
- • Axis camera
- • GPS
- • IMU
- • Velodyne
- • AI-Box
