A.R.G.O. can be operate under internet wifi, its stream can therefore always be viewed in real-time network.
Its mechanic allows a considerable global burden of about 150 kg.
The speed is variable from 0 to 3 km / h.
The two motors 12V 280W each. with ratio. 1:80 are governed by a board Sabertooth 2x32A with incorporated encoder inputs.
The hubs of the wheels are equipped with a micro-perforated and interchangeable disk, this is for the installation of encoders.
The battery is a deep cycle gel rechargeable by 12V-33Ah.
The output torque at the wheels is 150Nm.
It comes to 12 ultrasonic sensors collision, a PIR sensor, 2 webcams and LEDs for night vision.
