Features
The Sentera Omni Vehicle RTK Inspection System is a high-precision, ground-based robotic inspection platform built on the DJI Matrice 100 (M100) drone chassis. Designed for autonomous or manual remote-controlled inspections, it combines RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning with 360° obstacle avoidance for accurate, repeatable data collection in industrial, agricultural, and infrastructure applications.
Key Features
1. Chassis & Mobility
-
Base Platform: Modified DJI Matrice 100 (M100) quadcopter frame (repurposed for ground use).
-
Drive System: 4-wheel omnidirectional movement (Mecanum wheels for lateral/diagonal motion).
-
Max Speed: ~1.5 m/s (5.4 km/h) (adjustable for precision tasks).
-
Terrain Adaptability: Handles grass, gravel, pavement, and light off-road conditions.
2. RTK & Positioning
-
High-Accuracy RTK GNSS: Centimeter-level precision (compatible with NTRIP networks or local base stations).
-
Waypoint Navigation: Pre-programmable routes for autonomous inspections.
-
Obstacle Avoidance: 360° LiDAR or ultrasonic sensors (varies by configuration).
3. Payload & Sensors
-
Modular Mounting System: Supports multispectral cameras, thermal sensors, LiDAR, or custom payloads.
-
Standard Options:
-
Sentera 6X Multispectral Sensor (NDVI, crop health analysis).
