0:04 Hello colleagues. We are about to ship our new robot to one of our customers, and we just realized that we didn't talk about the robot in detail. What is what? So this is a very short intro video to robot V100. So this is how the robot looks like just before the shipment. We are driving it around and then basically confirm that the robot is fine, and after that we disassemble it, pack it into the large box, and ship it. What does the robot consist of? The robot, of course, consists of the main base, and the main base has massive batteries inside. It has motors, driving motors, and four caster wheels. So the main load is, of course, on the caster wheels, and the main drivers are the two driving wheels.
1:02 There are shelves, and by default there is one shelf in the middle. This is the top shelf, which is basically limiting the top, and you can install many additional shelves very easily. So in minutes you can change it, remove it completely, and then you can pack a very large box inside, or you can pack and add more shelves, and thus move multiple shelves or multiple objects like boxes at the same time. In terms of control, so this is the main driving point: the driving button, main stopping button. And here the buttons—you can assign their path, the waypoints. So for example, this is your route number one: starting point, ending point. Starting point, route number two. Route number three, et cetera, et cetera. They can reconfigure this, but by default, because it was designed for our lead customer, that was there.
2:00 The task: several predefined rule routes you can assign them, and then people just need to press starting point, ending point, and then the robot just drives fully autonomously. What does it use for autonomous positioning? Of course, it's using our indoor GPS. In this case, it has two mobile beacons inside, and the main computer is inside here. On this main computer, you can even have access over USB and HDMI. By the way, for those who are interested in more customization, it's possible to basically connect your own computer via HDMI and using the USB ports and to run the internal software on the computer. So in this way
2:58 you can update the software on the robot and even upload some of your applications to the Linux computer which is inside the robot. So it's very convenient and provides a great way to expand the capabilities of the robot. The robot is very simple. It was designed for real industrial applications. This is why it doesn't have too many controls. One button to switch on, monitor the voltage of the battery, and it's for autonomous driving. But of course, it must sense the environment, and this is what it's using for sensing the environment. So there are lidars—1D lidars—which are sensing up to four meters from the robot, and the robot stops. You can check the videos how it works in practice, but this is the main sensing method. So it's using lidars. If you
4:00 think that something dangerous could be on this side as well, not only on the bottom side, let us know. We can supply you with additional lidars installed on each of these sides. So it will be simply an expansion. And in general, some of our customers are getting the base and then use it as a tractor, let's say as a starting point for their own applications. So it's a very nice platform for expansion. Of course, we have our boxy robot, which is designed for even higher flexibility of expansion because it has multiple inputs, outputs, et cetera. But even this robot can be expanded pretty well because there is a lot of space. So you can install additional battery, you can install additional computers like Jetson, for example, or some other powerful computer for whatever processing. You can have additional space here installed for your computers.
5:00 But in general, it's a basic, robust autonomous delivery robot for industrial and warehousing applications. Okay, so this is the final drive test before the shipping. Okay, the robot detected. Okay, I'm in front of the robot. I'm moving away. I'm in front of the robot, moving away. Okay, basically the robot is ready to be disassembled, packed, and shipped.

Technical Background & System Details
The Marvelmind V100 Autonomous Delivery Robot represents a breakthrough in warehouse automation and autonomous indoor logistics. This demonstration video answers a critical question for procurement teams: can autonomous robots safely carry passengers? The V100 leverages Marvelmind's ultrasonic indoor positioning system to achieve precise indoor location tracking and navigation without relying on traditional indoor GPS or external infrastructure dependencies. Designed for smart warehousing environments, the V100 combines robust carrying capacity with sophisticated autonomous navigation capabilities. The robot utilizes real-time indoor tracking data from Marvelmind's RTLS (Real-Time Location System) to maintain accurate positioning throughout complex warehouse layouts. This indoor positioning system approach offers significant advantages over competing UWB positioning or visual navigation methods, providing reliable performance even in challenging RF environments. The V100 demonstrates how advanced autonomous indoor robot technology transforms intralogistics operations, reducing manual labor while improving safety and efficiency. Whether deploying single units or fleet-scale autonomous delivery systems, organizations benefit from integrated indoor navigation solutions that provide centimeter-level accuracy and real-time operational visibility across warehouse environments.
