PRODUCT - ARCHAX
COCKPIT
HATCH
From the early stages, particular attention was paid to the intricate and smooth opening/closing mechanism of the hatch.
The opening and closing of four hatches using the link mechanism appears stunning and creates a feeling of excitement in the pilot.

LADDER
Hatch with a Safe Entering / Exiting Cockpit
To support the entering / exiting of the cockpit, a ladder and two accompanying railings are placed at the front of the body and at the entrance of the cockpit.
Not only do these make for a stable entry and exit with the three-point support, but additionally create a good appearance as a part of the design.

Quad Monitor Setup
The 4 built-in monitors that display the images relayed from the exterior cameras are placed to face the front, back, left and right of ARCHAX.
The 9 cameras will be switched automatically to always give the pilot an optimal view while steering.
In addition to camera views, the information needed to steer the robot, such as the speed, tilt of the body, and status of the batteries, arms, and body are displayed.
