The 14th Five-Year Plan for the development of robot industry points out that the research and development, manufacturing and application of robots are important indicators to measure a country’s scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level. At present, the booming robot industry is greatly changing the way of human production and life, and injecting strong momentum into economic and social development.

As an important part of the robot industry, humanoid robots have unique technologies and functions, which are widely used in education, scientific research, service, entertainment and industry, bringing unprecedented convenience and efficiency.

In October 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Humanoid Robot Innovation and Development Guidance”, the report pointed out that robot technology has a mature technical foundation, led by artificial intelligence technology breakthroughs such as large models, humanoid robot technology has accelerated its evolution, and has become a new highland of scientific and technological competition, a new track for future industries, and a new engine for economic development. It has great development potential and wide application prospect.

Combined with the product layout and development path of elephant robot, the company officially released the Mercury humanoid robot product series with a price of 10,000 yuan.
The Mercury Robot family consists of three products: the Mercury A1 seven-axis cooperative robot arm, the Mercury B1 semi-humanoid two-arm robot and the Mercury X1 universal wheeled humanoid robot.

The industrial design of the three products is carefully designed by the Swedish team, integrating seven core robot algorithms and a variety of use and development methods, aiming to meet the needs of five application scenarios such as education, scientific research, service, entertainment and VR teleoperation.

Mercury Robotics product family

Mercury A1-7 axis collaborative robot

The Mercury A1 is a lightweight, 7-DOF collaborative robot powered by a self-developed harmonic module of seven elephant robots. The new seven-axis industrial design, carefully crafted by the Swedish team, uses an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber shell to significantly increase the strength and rigidity of the machine while reducing weight.

The Mercury A1 uses a single master and two auxiliary controls. The main control adopts Cortext A72-1.5GHz, equipped with 2.0-inch IPS-LCD capacitive touch screen, and works with myPanel OS, the robot convenient development operating system independently developed by Elephant Robot, which can realize rapid deployment applications without programming.
Mercury B1 – Double 7-axis semi-humanoid robot

The Mercury B1 two-arm semi-humanoid robot has a total of 17 degrees of freedom, and is equipped with two A1 seven-axis robotic arms, which can operate independently with one arm and cooperate with two arms. The head is equipped with a 9-inch HD LCD touch screen, which supports multi-point control and user customized expression display; It is controlled with the NVIDIA Xavier main control chip and four independent sub-controllers. Combined with the integrated 3D camera, it can complete 2D/3D machine vision guidance, grasp and VR remote operation.

As the earliest robot brand suitable for ChatGPT for Robotics, Mercury B1 has built-in high-definition microphone array to support real-time voice acquisition, which will bring a new experience of AI voice intelligent recognition and interaction.
The Mercury X1 wheeled humanoid robot has a total of 19 degrees of freedom and is a combination of Mercury B1 and a high-performance mobile base. The machine is equipped with NVIDIA Jetson Xavier and Jetson Nano dual control, the upper body independent four auxiliary control, the lower body independent one auxiliary control for collocation control.

Mobile base equipped with high performance Lidar, ultrasonic sensor and 2D vision rich perception; Using direct drive motor drive, the maximum operating speed of 1.2m/s; Maximum climbing height 2CM; The maximum climbing Angle is 15 degrees. The maximum battery life of the machine is up to 8 hours to meet the needs of personal and commercial applications.
