MICROROBOTECH Move New T1 (T1)

Most four-legged robots ask you to choose: legs that cope with steps and rubble, or wheels that cover distance quickly and efficiently. The MICROROBOTECH Move New T1 (T1) declines that choice. It is a wheeled quadruped, a machine that walks where the ground demands it and rolls where the ground allows it, and it folds down to a flat package only 150mm deep when the working day is over. For teams who need one platform to cross a car park, climb a flight of steps and carry equipment up a slope, that combination changes the planning considerably.

Robots Europa supplies the MICROROBOTECH Move New T1 (T1) from Dublin to customers across the European Union and the DACH region. Robots Europa prepares each quotation, arranges delivery to your site and remains your point of contact for support after the robot is in service, so that research groups, integrators and industrial operators deal with a single European partner from first enquiry to deployment.

Background

The manufacturer and its focus

The T1 comes from Micbot, a high-tech enterprise specialising in the research and development of wheeled quadruped robots. That specialisation matters. Rather than adapting a walking robot or a wheeled rover after the fact, the company concentrates on the hybrid architecture itself, in which each leg ends in a driven wheel and the control system decides, moment by moment, whether the robot should step, roll or do both at once. The T1 is the result of that single-minded focus, and its specification reads accordingly: a large number of joint motors for articulation, high-torque wheel hubs for traction, and an onboard computer sized for perception and autonomy.

Positioning: a working platform rather than a demonstrator

Wheeled quadrupeds as a class are aimed at tasks where a vehicle must move quickly over mixed terrain without the infrastructure that wheeled carts or tracked vehicles require. Typical users include inspection teams, logistics trials on complex sites, emergency and public safety units, and universities working on legged locomotion and embodied AI. The T1 is configured with this professional use in mind. It carries a Jetson Orin NX Super paired with an RK3588 module, offers secondary development for teams who write their own software, receives OTA updates, and can be operated through a mobile app or a handheld remote control. The sources name two versions, Standard and Silver; the differences between them are confirmed with Robots Europa at quotation.

Technical Specifications

Specifications as published by the manufacturer; confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the net weight of the robot, the charging time, the battery cycle life, the contents of the box, the LiDAR model or the camera resolution, and its documents give two different protection ratings, so these points are all confirmed at quotation.

What makes a wheeled quadruped different from a walking robot dog?

A conventional quadruped moves by stepping, which is excellent on broken ground but comparatively slow and energy-hungry on a flat surface. A wheeled robot is efficient on smooth ground but stops at the first kerb. The T1 places a 180 mm driven wheel at the end of each leg, with 380 N·m of hub torque, and articulates those legs through 16 joint motors. On a paved path it can roll at up to 18 km/h; at a flight of steps it can lift its wheels and climb, handling steps of up to 25cm; on an incline it can tackle slopes of up to 45°.

The practical effect is that a single robot can complete a route that would otherwise need two machines or a human carrier for part of the way. For a site survey that begins at a vehicle, crosses a yard, climbs to a raised walkway and continues along a corridor, that continuity is the main argument for the architecture. It also explains why the computing budget is substantial: switching between rolling and stepping in real time, while perceiving the surroundings, needs the 181 tops of processing that the Jetson Orin NX Super and RK3588 combination provides.

How much can the T1 carry, and for how long?

Load figures for robots are easy to misread, so it is worth separating them. The T1 supports a maximum standing load of 100kg and a continuous walking load of 50kg; the joint modules themselves are rated for a dynamic load of 70kg and a static load of 200kg. In planning terms, the walking figure is the one that governs a mission where the robot carries sensors, tools or supplies over distance, while the standing figure is relevant to stationary tasks such as acting as an elevated sensor mount.

Power comes from a 72V system using ternary or solid-state lithium batteries, with a battery capacity of 3.5/4.5 kwh and a total battery weight of 40~50kg. Maximum endurance time is ≤12h, and the platform supports fast charging. Because capacity and endurance will depend on the battery configuration chosen and on the duty cycle, Robots Europa confirms the configuration that matches your mission profile as part of the quotation. The operating temperature range of -40℃~55℃ means the robot can be considered for both northern winters and hot industrial environments.

Who is the MICROROBOTECH Move New T1 (T1) for?

The first group is operators of large or complex sites: energy facilities, industrial plants, logistics yards and campuses where routes mix open ground, ramps and stairs. For them, the combination of road-like speed and step-climbing ability means fewer gaps in coverage and a robot that can keep pace with the people it supports.

The second group is research and development teams. Secondary development support, a capable onboard computer and OTA updates make the T1 a sensible base for work on locomotion, autonomy, perception and human–robot interaction, particularly for groups who want to study hybrid wheel-leg motion rather than purely legged gaits.

The third group is public safety, emergency response and field service organisations that need a robust carrier for equipment in difficult conditions, where the wide temperature range and the front and rear lighting are relevant. Finally, system integrators building inspection, delivery or escort solutions will find a platform that can be controlled by app, by handheld remote or by their own software. Whether the Standard or the Silver version suits a given segment is not set out in the published sources; Robots Europa clarifies this when preparing your quotation.

What is the MICROROBOTECH Move New T1 (T1) used for?

1. Site inspection: patrolling mixed routes of paths, ramps and stairs with sensors on board.
2. Equipment transport: carrying tools, instruments or supplies across terrain that carts cannot reach.
3. Emergency support: bringing equipment to responders across rubble, slopes or steps.
4. Research and teaching: serving as a development platform for wheel-leg locomotion and autonomy.
5. Security patrols: covering large perimeters quickly, with lighting for operation after dark.
6. Cold and hot environments: working outdoors in conditions that are demanding for people and machines alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the T1 walk or drive?

Both. It is a wheeled quadruped, so it can roll on its driven wheels on even ground and articulate its legs to climb steps and cross obstacles.

How fast can the T1 move?

The maximum moving speed is 18 km/h.

Can the T1 climb stairs?

Yes. It handles a maximum step height of 25cm and slopes of up to 45°.

What computing hardware does it use?

The core modules are a Jetson Orin NX Super and an RK3588, providing a computing power of 181 tops.

Can we develop our own software for it?

Yes. The T1 supports secondary development as well as OTA updates, a mobile app and handheld remote control.

What is the protection rating?

The manufacturer's documents give two different ratings, so Robots Europa confirms the applicable protection rating against the datasheet with your quotation.

Robots Europa supplies the T1 from Dublin to customers in the EU and the DACH region. The cost depends on the version and configuration, and is set out in an individual quotation that you can request on this page.

Summary

The MICROROBOTECH Move New T1 (T1) resolves the long-standing trade-off between legs and wheels by combining them in a single platform. It rolls at speed where the ground is kind, climbs where it is not, carries meaningful loads, works across a wide temperature range and folds flat for transport. Backed by Micbot's focus on wheeled quadrupeds and supplied in Europe by Robots Europa, it is a platform for organisations that want one robot to finish the whole route.
