DirectDrive robot portfolio: wheeled-legged, modular field and research platforms
Direct Drive Technology develops wheeled-legged robot platforms built on direct-drive motor technology. On Robotlar.org, the DirectDrive TITA (8-DoF wheeled bipedal platform) and D1 (fully modular bipedal/quadruped robot) are reviewed with official manufacturer data; both models run on NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX compute with ROS 2 support and target research, inspection, patrol, and field robotics projects.
Wheeled-Bipedal Robot Platform
The DirectDrive TITA is an 8-DoF wheeled bipedal robot platform. With an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16 GB processor, hot-swappable batteries, the TITA Bridge expansion interface and ROS 2 development support, it is built for inspection, mapping, security patrol, delivery experiments, filming and robotics education.
Modular Wheeled-Legged Robot (Bipedal / Quadruped)
The DirectDrive D1 is a fully modular embodied intelligent robot. It combines bipedal and quadruped locomotion on one platform; with an 80 kg standing payload, NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8 GB, Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2 support, it is designed for research, inspection, delivery and field robotics projects.
TITA is an 8-DoF wheeled bipedal platform; at 24.1 kg with a 10 kg moving payload and hot-swappable batteries, it targets inspection, patrol, and education. D1 is a fully modular robot: a single module runs bipedal, two docked modules run quadruped, and its 80 kg standing payload suits heavier field tasks.
Yes. TITA provides an open-source Linux kernel, a full-link API, and ROS 2 support; D1 is built on Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2.
Pricing is quoted per model and configuration (e.g. D1 Single/Double, TITA add-ons). Delivery time and support scope are confirmed in writing before ordering.

Choosing by brand name alone is not enough. Payload, operating environment, shift pattern, bidirectional traffic, and integration requirements should all shape the decision. We can map the right architecture with you.
