Autonomous mobile robots are the modern descendants of the classical, path-bound driverless transport vehicles. Thanks to advanced sensor technology and intelligent algorithms, they can move freely in all environments, avoid people and obstacles dynamically and reach their destination independently.
Their fields of application are extremely diverse and range from simple but dynamic material transport to the fully automatic placement of sensors and interaction with measuring and test equipment. In research, they serve as demonstrators for AI research, as test platforms for new path planning and localization approaches, or as practice devices for the next generation of robotics developers.

The Robot Operating System, better know as ROS, is an open source framework for autonomous robots of all kinds. A huge international community of robotics developers is working on both improving the framework itself as well as constantly creating new functions, packages and modules.
ROS是使用最广泛的标准for controlling autonomous robots. Starting out as a tool for universities and research institutes, ROS now has already made its mark in industrial applications as well.
ROS thrives on the continuous interaction and exchange of ideas within the developers' community. The framework's core concept is the ease of replacing existing nodes with new and improved or customised versions. This includes basics like sensor interfaces and device drivers but also advanced features such as 3D mapping or dynamic path planning.
Device manufacturers, system integrators, researchers and private developers all contribute to ROS. This creates and maintains a vast set of tools and possibilities, freely available as open source packages for others to use. Most developers use this existing foundation because it helps them save precious time and focus on creative work. Their results are then made available to other ROS users. This way ROS is always up to date and the best way to get your hands on the latest cutting-edge algorithms.
ROS is a core component of all Neobotix products. Both complete mobile robots and separate components can be used with ROS.
All our robots are delivered with a basic ROS installation and ready for use. This includes all drivers and hardware related nodes as well as reliable packages for creating maps of the environment, for localisation and path planning.
Optional components, like the popular USBoard, can be integrated seamlessly into the robots. They can also be operated as stand-alone devices or be integrated in your own project.
You can use our extensive and easy to use simulation packages for drafting your project and for developing and offline testing of new software modules.
Beside very detailed 3D robot models these packages also contain realistic worlds and a preconfigured and easy to adjust navigation setup. You can create maps based on simulated sensor output and let the virtual robot explore its environment.
This will give you a good insight into our robots and their capabilities. You can find out how they react to obstacles and changes in the environment and can also experiment with your own modifications.
The ROS Development Studio offers the easiest way to test our mobile robots under ROS and get a first impression of their potential.
