1. Specifications Check
Goal: Verify your add-on (camera, LiDAR, computer, sensor, etc.) is within the robot's mechanical and electrical limits before attaching it.
Prerequisites: None. Run this check first whenever you plan to install a new module.
Key Limits for RBQ 10
| Parameter | Limit | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Max Payload | 15 kg | Total mass of everything mounted on top of the robot |
| Mounting interface | Top rail (slot) + spring nuts | Use rail slots for repeatable, secure mounting |
| Power available | 54 V, 12 V | Check your add-on's input voltage / current draw |
| Data interfaces | CAN ×1, Gigabit LAN ×3 | Match your add-on's communication interface |
| Ingress Protection | IP54 | Add-ons should not compromise IP rating in field use |
For the full specification table (dimensions, walking speed, slope, sensors, etc.), see the manual page below.

Pre-installation Checklist
Before moving to the next step, confirm:
- [ ] Add-on mass + any existing payload ≤ 15 kg
- [ ] Center of mass is roughly above the robot body (avoid large overhang)
- [ ] Power and data interfaces match what RBQ 10 provides
- [ ] You have measured the X / Y / Z offset of the add-on's center of mass from the robot body center (needed in step 3)
WARNING
Exceeding the 15 kg payload limit or mounting mass far from the body center can destabilize walking, increase joint load, and shorten component life. Always check the spec sheet first.
Next Step
When your add-on passes the checklist, mount it to the rail:
