MaXXII-S
Electric Tracked Ground Vehicle with suspensions
MaXXII-S is the first electric skid-steering tracked mobile robotic platform with an advanced suspensions system designed to be used for a large variety of applications and to speed up your robotics research! MaXXII-S mounts different shock absorbers with preload adjusters to allow the whole tracked undercarriage configuration to adapt to the terrain profile by minimizing the soil vibrations. The unit can be configured with 360° Laser Sensor, RGB-D camera, motor encoders, current sensors and RTK GPS. Thanks to its rubber tracks, it can be used both for indoor and outdoor applications and its payload allows the users to add additional devices and laptops. Moreover, it provides several power output in order to connect multiple devices. The large ground clearance lets the vehicle to overcome obstacles like rocks and debris. It is particularly useful for autonomous navigation for agricultural tasks automation.
POWERFUL SUSPENSIONS
MaXXII-S suspensions are designed to adapt the rubber track undercarriage to the terrain profile and to minimize the vibrations generated by track-terrain interactions on rough soil. The rubber tracks are robust and high flexible to easily accommodate the shock absorbers movements.
The springs of the shock absorbers used as dampers for the suspension system can easily be replaced to change the elastic module and tune the overall system behavior.

READY FOR ROBOTICS AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH!
MaXXII-S has been carefully design to assist the researchers all over the world to speed up their applications and their robotics research work. It can be used to carry heavy equipment and array of sensors like LiDARs, IMUs and video cameras.
IT IS ROS READY!
MAXXII comes with a well-documented ROS node which allows the user to remotely control the robot and to easily integrate sensors, devices and actuators. It also includes C/C++ library for cross-platform development and for third-party integration. The user can move the robot by using the standard geometry_msgs ROS messages.
ALL TERRAIN TRACKS
Thanks to its modular undercarriage, you can use MAXXII both for robotics indoor and outdoor applications; moreover, its soft rubber pads prevent slips on flat surfaces. The sprockets and the idle wheels are designed to balance the vehicle and to better distribute its weight on the ground by providing a large footprint and a great grip.
DRIVE OVER THE NIGHT
MAXXII is not afraid of the night! Thanks to a powerful 20W headlight with 1580lm mounted on its front and rear bumpers, you can face the night without problems! You can use this vehicle for surveillance or for inspections in no light conditions and in rought environments since boht lights are IP67 and come with LED technology.
FEEL THE POWER!
The vehicle is designed by using high quality components both for mechanical and electronics parts. The power supply comes from a 24VDC AGM fully isolated battery while the motors are able to provide a very high torque up to 40Nm. The onboard electronics board is able to accurately control the motors and all the sensors.
RC PulseIn, Analog and Digital I/O, RS232, Encoders
MAXXII comes with a very powerful RC controller at 433 Mhz or 2.4 GHz able to provide multiple interfaces for several applications and needs. In particular, it includes a radio board with a remote control link up to 150 meters with a frequency of 433 Mhz or 2.4Ghz, different analog and digital I/Os, serial interfaces and a large set of sensors for odometry and environmental data like the RTK GPS and the 360° laser scanner.
