Ark
ARK is an indoor two-wheel differential chassis with a 3-swing arm suspension. It features a compact structure, high load capacity, simple control, and excellent cost-effectiveness. Equipped with an IMU for odometry fusion, it achieves high positioning accuracy without external aids, making it ideal for developing economical indoor embodied robots or as a traditional AGV.

Safety Instructions
Important Safety Information
- It is strictly prohibited to use the device during charging.
- Confirm the device's operating voltage, power, and installation parameters before use. Issues caused by exceeding these parameters are not covered under warranty.
- Assess the IP rating, temperature, and suitability of the environment. Issues arising from harsh conditions are not covered under warranty.
- This device does not provide collision, fall, or proximity warnings. Conduct safety evaluations for integrated products and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and certifications to avoid major safety hazards.
- Read maintenance requirements to prevent irreversible damage from incorrect operations, such as battery over-discharge, low tire pressure causing hub damage, or lack of lubrication leading to axle wear.
- For first-time use, place the device in a safe, open area without loads. Follow the operation instructions and test all functions. Contact customer service if issues arise.
- In case of abnormalities or accidents, use the emergency stop or power off immediately to prevent further damage. Contact technical support and do not disassemble the device yourself. Note: Damage from unauthorized disassembly, modification, misuse, or force majeure events is not covered under warranty. The product is not liable for safety incidents with user-integrated devices. Users must conduct risk and reliability assessments.
Charger Usage Instructions
- Lithium battery chargers provide different voltages depending on the number of cells: common specifications are 7 cells (29V), 6 cells (25V), and industry-standard 13 cells (54V). Choose the correct charger, preferably the one provided with the device. Contact customer service if needed.
- Check that the charging voltage is correct; it is indicated on the device's nameplate.
- Ensure charging is supervised; disconnect power when unattended.
- Start charging after device alignment, and do not use the device while charging.
- Keep the charger and device away from bedrooms, flammable materials, and ensure they remain dry.
- The charger uses a 220V AC power input; ensure stable input voltage.
- Do not exceed 8 hours of continuous charging. Stop immediately if the charger overheats.
