The R1 can see and feel the world around it. Using CO-EYE, our patented depth sensor, a set of sonar and cliff detection sensors, R1 is constantly collecting and sending data back to the CO-MOVE autonomous following system. 

It pays attention so you don't have to.

COWAROBOT R1 features futuristic technology that bring it to life, like the CO-EYE depth sensor, CO-MOVE autonomous following system, and CO-SMART intelligent locks. The technology was developed to allow the R1 to “see” the world around it, “think” of the best way to get there and “walk” to its destination, while keeping your valuables safe at all times.

CO-MOVE system is the brains of the R1, in charge of sensing the environment, planning reasonable paths, and obstacle avoidance, all while following its user. 

 

 

The sensing ability of the CO-MOVE system is made possible by:

   Multi-sensor fusion technology, which is mainly based on a set of sonars

   A depth sensor CO-EYE

  Cliff Detect sensors that allow R1 to avoid stairs and other dangerous drop-offs

 

A pair of active wheel units drives the R1

  Navigates the path according to the data received from the sensing system.

  When the Autonomous Mode is disabled, the active wheels will retract, similar to an airplane landing gear.

 

CO-SMART intelligent Lock features an ergonomic design for comfort and syncs with a bracelet that acts like a keyless remote.

  The on-board LED lights on the lock tell you whether the suitcase is locked or open.

  Integrates a TSA lock and a traditional combination lock

  Specially designed to be opened effortlessly by you through simply twisting the R1’s main compartment lock.

  All-aluminum frame and 100% German Bayer polycarbonate

  Top notch construction quality

  Modular design for convenience and space

  Ergonomic handle with sensors

  Ultra quiet wheels

  Miniaturized electronic components

 

 

We have done numerous tests on the R1 to ensure that quality and build will last you on your many adventures. We've smashed it, rolled it over rugged terrain, threw it repeatedly against the ground, and stressed each and every component in order to test its resilience and construction quality.

 

 

We will be contacting all R1 owners before the delivery date, for you to choose your favorite color.

Whether you are purchasing the R1 for yourself or a friend, we want to make sure you are receiving the best product possible.
