DescriptionThe Waveshare UGV Beast ROS 2 open-source AI robot is a rugged off-road robotics platform for Jetson Orin projects, ROS 2 development, SLAM, mapping, and AI vision. It combines a tracked chassis, 360 degree pan-tilt module, LiDAR, depth camera, web control, and dual-controller architecture.This UGV Beast ROS 2 AI Robot is configured with two OpenELAB variants: one with the Jetson Orin Nano 4GB Kit included and one Acce version without the host controller. If you need a separate Jetson board, the Waveshare NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano AI Development Kit is the matching compute platform; for Raspberry Pi-based UGV projects, the related Waveshare UGV Beast ROS 2 AI Robot is a useful comparison.The Waveshare UGV Beast is suited to research, education, maker labs, robotics demonstrations, and autonomous driving experiments. With ROS 2 Humble LTS, Ubuntu 22.04, web-app control, Jupyter Lab, and open demo resources, teams can move from basic teleoperation to custom AI robotics more quickly.Features UGV Beast ROS 2 robot platform with off-road tracked chassis and strong expansion potential. Dual-controller design: Jetson Orin host controller for AI vision and strategy planning, ESP32 sub-controller for motion control. 360 degree flexible pan-tilt module with 5MP 160 degree wide-angle camera. Supports Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS2-HUMBLE-LTS for modern robotics workflows. Web Application and Jupyter Lab support for remote control, programming, and testing. Designed for Gmapping 2D mapping, Cartographer 2D mapping, and RTAB-Map 3D mapping. LiDAR, depth camera, and multiple sensors for navigation, object tracking, and AI computer vision. 3S UPS module and support for 3 x 18650 lithium batteries, batteries not included.
