YAI-011 Large-Scale Simulation Mechanical Caterpillar Model
A 1:50 Biologically Enlarged, High-Fidelity Replica of Lepidopteran Larva for Advanced Nature Education
2.5m Long, 1:50 Scale
Full length 2.5m (±2cm tolerance), height 1.5m. Features 6 industrial-grade servo motor drive units, compliant with ISO 13482 service robot safety standards, ideal for high-precision nature education scenarios.
98% Dynamic Realism
Based on motion capture data of real caterpillar locomotion, achieving ±45° anterior segment swing and biomimetic peristaltic tail movement.
Multi-Modal Perception
Integrated temperature/humidity sensors (-20℃~60℃) and ambient light adaptive adjustment module for dynamic environmental interaction.
Advanced Motion Capabilities
Engineered movements that replicate authentic caterpillar locomotion
Anterior Segment Motion
±45° swinging movement with 3 Degrees of Freedom (3DOF), mimicking real caterpillar head exploration and feeding behavior.
Peristaltic Tail Movement
2 Degrees of Freedom (2DOF) in posterior segments for authentic wave-like crawling motion.
Environmental Awareness
Temperature/Humidity sensors and ambient light detection enable behavior adaptation, such as seeking shade or moisture.
Multi-Trigger Interaction
Infrared array supports multiple simultaneous user interactions, triggering predefined or randomized action sequences for group engagement.

Applications & Benefits
Engineered for immersive educational engagement and commercial attraction
Science Education
Proven to increase audience dwell time by 120% (National Museum of Animal Science case study). Pairs with AR anatomy software (Unity SDK compatible) to demonstrate insect metamorphosis.
Theme Park Attraction
Deployed in Zhuhai Chimelong's "Insect Realm" project, achieving over 300 daily interactive sessions, demonstrating high public engagement and repeat interaction rates.
Commercial & Retail
Achieved 18.7% visitor-to-customer conversion rate during Shenzhen MixC World holiday season (third-party verified), serving as a powerful traffic driver.
Deployment & Operation Guide
Tailored setup for optimal performance and longevity
Venue Requirements
Minimum single-unit footprint ≥6㎡. For prolonged color fidelity, recommend pairing with UV-A protected plant growth enclosures (e.g., Philips TLED series).
Educational Integration
Can be synchronized with AR dissection software (requires pre-installed Unity SDK) to visually demonstrate insect developmental stages (egg, larva, pupa, adult).
Preventive Maintenance
Replace harmonic drive gear lubricant (Mobil SHC 100) every 500 operational hours. Perform quarterly inspections on structural joints and motor bearings.
Important Notice
Final presentation may vary due to on-site conditions such as ambient lighting (recommended >300 lux), floor friction coefficient (μ≥0.4), and power supply stability (voltage fluctuation <±5%). Dynamic performance and audio-visual effects may differ slightly from promotional materials. Actual specifications (motion precision, interaction details) are subject to final project confirmation and on-site acceptance. The product shown is a prototype; the final product may differ.
