myBlockly (graphical programming development software)

The new myBlockly introduces an innovative dual-edit bar function, providing users with a more convenient and efficient programming experience. At the same time, myBlockly is also connected to the base SLAM control module a, making the whole machine programming and control of the humanoid robot seamlessly combined, further expanding the application field of the Mercury robot. Through the preset shortcut commands, users can quickly write control programs for the left and right arms to achieve efficient collaborative work of the arms, thus achieving the effect of "1+1>2".

VR real-time control

At the same time, the Mercury VR Remote Control (MVRM) developed by meta Quest3 can achieve low-latency VR real-time control, providing a new robot solution for special dangerous occasions. The Mercury robot can achieve 16 degrees of freedom VR operation, support wired and wireless connections, and can be combined with 2D/3D cameras and various grippers, suction pumps and dexterous hands.

Thanks to the Accelerated GStreamer plug-in provided by the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier platform, the MVRM operation delay is less than 300MS; the operation accuracy reaches ±1MM, and it has been first adapted to the meta Quest3 series.

06

Diverse software ecosystem, supporting mainstream platforms

The Mercury robot series adheres to the open source tradition of Elephant Software and supports a rich software ecosystem and mainstream programming languages.

It also supports mainstream simulation software including Moveit, Gazebo, Mujoco and Issam, making it easier for users to use robots to move in the simulation system, improving the ability of intelligent autonomous learning and rapid iteration.

Support secondary development

1

API - pymyCobot

pymyCobot is a general-purpose Python control library designed to support multiple robots from Elephant Robotics, providing a simple and flexible way to control robots.

2

API - Mercury

MercuryAPI is a C++ control interface designed specifically for the Mercury robot. It is simple and easy to use, providing flexible control of the robot's joints, postures, and actuators, helping developers quickly implement various robot applications.

08

Five application scenarios

1

Educational scene

Robot education and teaching kit, Mercury A1 collaborative robot arm can be equipped with 2D or 3D vision modules, which can realize knowledge learning in different fields of multiple disciplines such as image recognition, model training, robot control, motion planning, robot space calibration, vision and robot hand-eye calibration, etc. Mercury B1 robot can be equipped with Tuyang 3D industrial camera for disordered grasping of industrial parts.

2

Scientific research scene

Mercury B1 is a one-stop scientific research embodied intelligent humanoid robot. Thanks to the application of self-developed control algorithms and modules, B1 can be used for research and application in multiple directions such as dual-arm coordinated control, dual-arm motion planning, visual perception and robot application, and is the preferred model for humanoid robot application research.

3D SLAM automatic navigation scene: wheeled humanoid robot - Mercury X1. It uses a 3D camera with a 360 omnidirectional radar and NVIDIA core control to achieve 3D scene scanning and mapping, support environmental expansion development, support loading and saving environmental maps, let the robot integrate into the actual environment, and perform robot movement, automatic navigation, 3D mapping and other applications.

3

Service Scenario

The Mercury series' powerful performance and internal expression, coupled with its elegant appearance design, make the Mercury robot not only used in education and scientific research scenarios, but also in commercial service scenarios. Through different terminal accessories and combined with various daily furniture and appliances, the robot can serve in actual company displays, commercial exhibitions, industry exchanges and other application environments, showing the cool application of robot waiters.

4

Entertainment scene

Equipped with a customized end-effector to simulate human motion development, the Mercury robot can realize human-like motion applications and develop personal applications.

5

VR remote control scene

Combined with VR equipment, remote-controlled robot applications can be realized.

Robot control is not limited by time and space, and can be widely used in remote landing solutions for different scenarios of customers. It provides dual-end software coverage, supports VR device-end and robot-end UI interface control, and quickly builds robot remote control scenarios, making humanoid robots more practical.

09

Enriching the surrounding ecology

The Mercury robot series provides a complete range of auxiliary hardware, including various grippers and suction pumps, and can be used in combination with 2D and 3D vision to truly achieve the robot's "hand-eye integration".

We provide more than 10 kinds of accessories in 3 categories, which are launched simultaneously with the products. We can meet your personalized scene development needs and get rid of the application difficulties of selecting conventional robot accessories.
