Quick Verdict
The S3 is a low vehicle, 22 cm high and 45 cm wide, that drives under trolleys and racks in assembly plants. It comes in two versions: the S3 core carries 150 kg on top, and the S3 tow pulls up to 500 kg. Navigation is flexible, from magnetic track and RFID to LiDAR and camera, so it can start on a fixed route and move to free navigation later. Charging is inductive during the process. Top speed is 1.6 m/s.
