With 6 legs and 18 DOF powered by motors delivering up to 33 Nm of peak torque, it can easily adapt to slopes up to 40°. Its built-in anti-disturbance algorithms and dynamic center-of-gravity control mean the robot can recover from slips on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor navigation, the Hexplorer uses a Livox Mid360 LiDAR, an Intel RealSense D435 depth camera, and an IMU to run real-time SLAM and obstacle avoidance. Under the hood, a dual-compute setup splits the workload: an Intel mini PC handles motion control, while an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano powers AI perception and target tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning Ubuntu 22.04 with ROS2 Humble pre-installed, it includes Python and C++ SDKs for everything from high-level commands to low-level joint control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMAIN ADVANTAGES \u0026amp;
