Introducing the RB-FIQUS: A new turn in outdoor mobile robotics

The RB-FIQUS is the latest innovation in autonomous mobile robotics (AMR) from Robotnik, a company recognized for its cutting-edge solutions in industrial and outdoor automation. This robust and highly versatile platform has been specifically developed to meet the demanding requirements of sectors such as agriculture, industry, defense, security, and inspection.

Designed for performance in outdoor environments, the RB-FIQUS boasts a load capacity of up to 1,000 kg and features an omnidirectional traction system, allowing it to navigate smoothly even across uneven terrain. Its side-mounted electronics and low-center modular architecture ensure enhanced stability during heavy-duty operations, making it a reliable tool for transporting and manipulating large loads.


One of the standout capabilities of the RB-FIQUS is its high-precision 3D localization system, which incorporates RTK-DGPS technology. This enables the robot to operate with remarkable accuracy, an essential feature for outdoor applications where GPS reliability is often a challenge. In addition, the platform is compatible with collaborative robotic arms such as the UR20 and UR30, expanding its functional scope to include complex manipulation tasks.

Safety and compliance are key priorities for Robotnik, and the RB-FIQUS is no exception. The platform adheres to ISO 18497:2018 and ISO 3691-4 standards, which ensure its safe deployment in both agricultural and industrial environments. These certifications highlight the robot's readiness for real-world deployment in highly regulated fields.

Under the hood, the RB-FIQUS integrates powerful computing and connectivity options. It includes an Intel i7 CPU, 2D safety scanners, an RGBD camera, a 5G-ready router, IMU, and a high-capacity removable battery (48VDC@135Ah) that allows for up to 10 hours of autonomy. Optional features such as AI vision systems, GPS, and advanced 3D navigation modules further increase its adaptability to specialized tasks.

With dimensions of 1,805 x 1,610 x 743 mm and a maximum speed of 1 m/s, the RB-FIQUS combines compact design with high performance. Its modularity, combined with its powerful sensory and motion systems, positions it as a key tool in the transition toward smarter, more autonomous outdoor operations.

The RB-FIQUS represents a leap forward in mobile robotics. Its rugged design, precision capabilities, and modular flexibility make it a compelling solution for a wide range of complex outdoor applications.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
