The Realman Robotics RMC-LA Compound Lifting Robot is a mobile manipulation platform that takes the familiar robot-plus-AGV combination a step further by adding a vertical lifting system. A mobile chassis, vertical rail, robotic arm, vision sensors, and end effector are integrated through a master controller, so one machine can navigate to a work area, adjust its height, and manipulate objects in a single workflow. The lifting rail delivers an effective lifting distance of 1.8 m at 150 mm/s, taking the platform from 1630 mm in its lowered configuration to 2430 mm fully raised — a working envelope that reaches shelves, racks, carts, and benches well beyond a fixed-mounted arm. The arm end accepts execution tools and an open-source 3D visual sensor for task accuracy across that expanded workspace, while safety functions include laser scanning obstacle avoidance, visual obstacle avoidance, force sensors, and an emergency stop.

Realman positions the RMC-LA (platform designation RML-125-1800) for structured indoor operations such as logistics warehousing and new-retail environments, where moving between aisles and working at multiple shelf heights is the core requirement: shelf arrangement and replenishment assistance, inventory checking and bin handling at varying heights, and station-to-station material movement combined with light manipulation. Brochure materials describe a 6-DOF arm module with around 610 mm reach, roughly 5 kg payload, and ±0.05 mm repeatability, with the exact arm model depending on the configured manipulator, alongside LiDAR-style ranging, depth vision, and ultrasonic sensing for navigation. The platform weighs approximately 76 kg to 88 kg by configuration, charges from a single-phase 220 V supply, runs on DC 24 V, operates from −10°C to +40°C, and exposes Ethernet, USB, and HDMI interfaces, with Realman's compound-platform literature referencing an NVIDIA-based embedded controller (Volta GPU with Carmel CPU).
