ROSbot 2R is an autonomous, open source robot platform based on Raspberry Pi 4 (ARM64). Reinforced with a development platform and free online resources such as set of tutorials, manuals, simulation model and more, it is a great choice for prototyping and learning how to program autonomous vehicles. ROS and ROS 2 system image options are available.

It integrates:

  • CPU: Broadcom BCM2711 64-bit, Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A72, 1.5 GHz (ARM64, Raspberry Pi 4)
  • GPU: Broadcom VideoCore VI
  • RAM: 4GB LPDDR4
  • IMU: BNO055 (accelerometer + gyro)
  • Distance sensor: VL53L0X (time-of-flight)
  • Networking: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ac wireless LAN
  • 4-wheel mobile platform with DC motors
  • Li-on batteries: 3 x 3500 mAh (with protection circuits)
  • RGBD Camera: Orbbec Astra
  • LIDAR: Slamtec RPLIDAR A2
  • Rear panel providing interfaces for additional modules
  • Robust aluminium chassis
