SEER Robotics Controller for Pallet-handling Robot (SRC-F10)

A pallet robot is only as steady as the brain that tells its single steering wheel where to point. The SEER Robotics Controller for Pallet-handling Robot (SRC-F10) is built for that job: a dedicated controller for the single-steering wheel motion model, not a general board bent to fit it. For a builder or integrator in the Caribbean, where warehouses, ports and distribution yards have to keep running in heat and humidity, a purpose-made controller can save a lot of trial and error.

Background

SEER Robotics and its Robot Brain

SEER Robotics (06106.HK) is a platform-based embodied intelligent robotics company built around what it calls the Robot Brain. The company serves 2,500+ customers worldwide with intelligent robotics solutions. That customer base matters to a buyer, because a controller is a long-term commitment: you write your application around it, and you want the maker to still be building on the same platform later.

The SRC-F10 belongs to the company's family of robot controllers. Other members of that family are aimed at different vehicle types, such as the dual-steering-wheel design or the autonomous forklift. You can browse them in the Controllers category.

Where the SRC-F10 fits

The SRC-F10 is the controller for pallet-handling robots that steer with a single steering wheel. Around that motion model, it brings together the pieces an automated guided vehicle needs: navigation, sensor input, drive communication and a programmable logic environment.

It supports SLAM, QR code, reflector and NFL navigation, so the same controller can serve a site that uses natural features as well as one that relies on markers. Triple LiDAR and dual-camera sensing are available for obstacle avoidance and recognition. A multi-core architecture, real-time control and hardware isolation enhance safety and stability.

For integrators who come from the PLC world, the Codesys plugin follows the IEC 61131-3 standards. PLC engineers can therefore adapt quickly, using the languages and habits they already know.

What makes the SRC-F10 different from a general-purpose controller?

A general-purpose controller has to be ready for any vehicle, so the engineer first decides how the vehicle moves, then builds the motion model on top. The SRC-F10 starts from the other end. It is dedicated to pallet-handling robots and supports the single-steering wheel motion model, so the central question of how this vehicle drives is already answered when the box is opened.

The second difference is how it is wired into the rest of the robot. Dual CAN redundancy and five RS485 ports give the integrator room to connect drives, batteries and peripherals without adding extra converters. Two Gbps Ethernet ways, one 100 Mbps way and two USB3.0 ways cover the connections to sensors, a service laptop and the wider network. Wi-Fi 6 on dual-band 2.4G / 5G handles wireless links.

The third difference is the choice of navigation. Many sites cannot commit to one method from day one. A warehouse may start with reflectors and later move to SLAM, or use QR codes in one zone and natural features in another. Because the SRC-F10 supports SLAM, QR code, reflector and NFL navigation, that decision does not tie you to a new controller later.

How does the SRC-F10 handle sensing and safety?

The controller supports triple LiDAR and dual-camera sensing for obstacle avoidance and recognition. In practice that gives a pallet robot several views of its surroundings: the scanners watch the path, and the cameras help it recognize what is in front of it.

Underneath, the multi-core architecture, real-time control and hardware isolation enhance safety and stability. The controller is certified by CE-EMC, CE-LVD and UL, which helps when a robot has to be shipped to several countries. If your project needs a certified safety function, raise it when you request a quotation. SEER also lists safety controllers in the range, such as the SEER Robotics Safety Robot Controller (SRC-3000FS).

Who is the SRC-F10 for?

Robot builders and OEMs are the first group. If you are developing a pallet-handling robot with a single steering wheel, the SRC-F10 gives you a controller matched to that layout, in a compact housing that measures 171 × 118.5 × 38 mm and weighs 0.75 kg.

System integrators are the second group. Their projects rarely look alike, so the mix of navigation methods, the Codesys plugin and the CAN and RS485 ports let one controller serve several sites. PLC engineers in particular will find the IEC 61131-3 environment familiar.

Warehouse and logistics operators who commission their own automated vehicles are the third group. They gain a controller with a positioning accuracy of ±5 mm and ±1°, and a single-frame map area of up to 400000 m².

If your vehicle steers with two wheels instead, look at the SEER Robotics Controller for Dual-steering-wheel Robot (SRC-R10). If you are building an autonomous forklift, see the SEER Robotics Specified Controller for Autonomous Forklift (SRC-2000-F(S)). For other factory vehicles, the Factory Robots category shows what else is on offer.

What is the SRC-F10 used for?

1. Pallet-handling robots. The main role: running a robot that moves on the single-steering wheel motion model.
2. Warehouse and logistics transport. Moving pallets between storage, staging and dispatch with the navigation method that suits the site.
3. Mixed-navigation sites. Combining SLAM, QR code, reflector and NFL navigation where one method alone does not fit every zone.
4. Obstacle avoidance and recognition. Using triple LiDAR and dual-camera sensing to keep the robot clear of people and objects.
5. PLC-based customization. Letting engineers adapt the robot through the Codesys plugin under IEC 61131-3.
6. Peripheral integration. Connecting drives and devices through dual CAN redundancy and five RS485 ports.
