INFO / COMPLETE SYSTEM

Inside
AutoStoker.

The technical layer: mission, axes, vision, control and safety. Everything that makes the simple action on the home page possible.

MISSION LOOP / PICK & PLACE

One mission.
Eight steps.

Every phase is verifiable. If the target is lost or the grip is not plausible, AutoStoker recovers or stops.

01

MISSION STATE / M01

Move

Reaches the working area

Nominal

SYSTEM ANATOMY / INTERACTIVE

Four systems.
One robot.

MOBILITY / 02 AXES

Moves like a tank. Thinks like a robot.

Two independent tracks, encoders and PID control give AutoStoker traction, precision and on-the-spot rotation without adding a torso axis.

  • 2× NFP GM37 with encoders
  • Skid steering
  • Real-time control on Mega

KINEMATICS / 8 AXES

8

Eight axes.
One coordinated movement.

Every motor has a precise role: move, lift, orient or keep the grip stable.

CONTROL ARCHITECTURE

Three layers.
Clear responsibilities.

The server coordinates, Raspberry Pi interprets the world, and Arduino controls actuators and safety.

CONTROL PLANE

Server

Missions, fleet, inventory and data.

EDGE

Raspberry Pi 5

Vision, planning, navigation and recovery.

REAL-TIME

Arduino Mega

PID, actuators, interlocks, watchdog and safe stop.

CAPABILITIES

Open a module.
See what it does.

01 / NAV

Local autonomy

Perception, localisation and alignment stay on the robot.

02 / GRP

Essential grip

Passive TPU hands and coordinated kinematics reduce weight and failures.

03 / SAFE

Layered safety

From hardware E-stop to software watchdogs, every layer can stop motion.

04 / VIS

Open vision

Markers, classical vision or future models produce the same normalised target.

05 / PAY

Complete mission

Reaches, grasps, carries, deposits and verifies each step.

06 / API

Semantic commands

AI requests a height or speed; it does not control raw pins, PWM or STEP.
