SHINING ROBOTICS

Robotics Glossary

Use these definitions alongside the selected platform’s configuration, interfaces and delivery scope.

Standard robot platform

A mobile foundation with defined configurations and mounting interfaces. Complete application functions depend on upper modules, software and integration.

Standard PlatformsStandard vs Custom

4WS4WD

Four-wheel steering and four-wheel drive. Motion modes depend on mechanics, control software and configuration.

SR-X700 4WD/4WSCompare Motion Architectures

AGV

Automated guided vehicle, typically used for material transport. Guidance and autonomy depend on the specific product.

Tasks & Motion ArchitectureAlgorithms & Delivery Scope

AMR

Autonomous mobile robot. Confirm localization, planning, environmental response, safety and fleet functions for the product.

Tasks & Motion ArchitectureAlgorithms & Delivery Scope

JDM/ODM

Joint design and manufacturing, or original design manufacturing. Responsibilities, deliverables, acceptance and intellectual property are governed by agreement.

Custom DevelopmentJDM Stages & Deliverables

ROS compatibility

Software or interface integration with a ROS ecosystem. Confirm distribution, drivers, messages and tested scope; compatibility does not imply universal plug-and-play operation.

Developer IntegrationROS Support FAQ

LiDAR-SLAM

Simultaneous localization and mapping using LiDAR observations. Performance depends on environment, sensors and algorithms.
