Preferred Robotics Kachaka Pro
The Preferred Robotics Kachaka Pro is a compact autonomous transport robot that docks with its own shelf or cart, intended for factories.
The Preferred Robotics Kachaka Pro (Tokyo) is a small autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that docks under a dedicated shelf or base and transports it. According to the manufacturer it uses SLAM for localisation and AI for image recognition. The robot is 240 mm wide, 387 mm deep and 124 mm high, weighs 12.2 kg and drives at up to 0.8 m/s. It can tow 30 kg on a hard floor and 20 kg on carpet; continuous operating time is 2 hours and charging takes 2 hours (depending on the operating environment). For navigation the page lists a LiDAR with 12 m range and a ToF 3D sensor. The minimum passage width is 550 mm with a Kachaka Base and 650 mm with a Kachaka Shelf. Named examples are transport between process steps, carrying finished products away and returning packaging boxes in factories. This is a different model from the Kachaka Evo. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.
