Large ROS Inspection Robot

A ROS-based autonomous mobile inspection robot for campuses, factories, exhibition halls and other wide, flat indoor spaces. It builds a map with 360° lidar, plans its own patrol routes and avoids obstacles, and can also be driven remotely over 4G with live video. The open deck takes add-on payloads such as cameras, robotic arm modules or gas sensors.

Two large flat-deck robots with blue and yellow acrylic side panels on aluminium frames, mecanum wheels and spring suspension, parked on a dark marble floor in a lobby, a lidar puck on the deck
Two units in a lobby: lidar on deck, spring-suspended wheels.
