Advanced Mobility: The D9 can walk at speeds of up to 4.5 miles per hour, which is faster than the average human walk. It’s not just about speed, though. This robot can navigate stairsslopes and even maintain balance when you lose balance.
Intelligent navigation: Equipped with highly accurate sensors, the D9 creates real-time 3D semantic maps of its environment. This enables autonomous route planning and precise self-positioning.
