Overview

TITA is an 8-DoF wheeled bipedal robot platform developed by Direct Drive Technology. Weighing 24.1 kg (without battery), the platform measures 510 × 590 × 490 mm standing and 510 × 590 × 300 mm in creeping mode. An NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16 GB (100 TOPS) processor, a binocular camera structure, two IMUs, two SPAD sensors and one ultrasonic sensor provide perception, obstacle avoidance and positioning.

The standard 3 m/s speed can be raised to 5 m/s via API unlock; it climbs ±30° slopes and jumps 20 cm forward and 30 cm vertically. It carries a 10 kg moving payload. Hot-swappable dual batteries deliver about 2 hours of runtime. The TITA Bridge universal interface accepts official add-ons such as TITA Tower, a high-capacity battery, 18-inch wheels and a robot arm base. With an open-source Linux kernel, full-link API and ROS 2 support, it is suited to research and secondary development.
