DescriptionThe Waveshare UGV Rover ROS 2 Open-source 6 Wheels 4WD AI Robot is a mobile ROS2 robot kit with an all-metal chassis, dual-controller architecture and pan-tilt module. Designed for Raspberry Pi 4B or Raspberry Pi 5 variants, it combines 6-wheel stability, 4WD traction, computer vision and interactive tutorials.This UGV Rover ROS2 Kit is built for makers, robotics labs, classrooms and developers who want to test navigation, SLAM, web control, Jupyter Lab programming and AI vision on a robust mobile platform. The variants differ by Raspberry Pi host controller and whether the Raspberry Pi is included.Features ROS2-HUMBLE-LTS platform: for mapping, navigation, remote-control nodes and open demos. Dual-controller design: Raspberry Pi handles vision and strategy while ESP32 handles motor PID, IMU, OLED, servo and LED control. 6-wheel 4WD all-metal chassis: 2 mm aluminum body, rugged tires and closed-loop motor control. Pan-tilt module: 2 DOF, ST3215 servo and 30KG.CM torque for flexible camera angles. D500 LiDAR and OAK-D Lite depth camera: for ROS2 mapping, depth sensing and navigation applications. 5MP 160 degree wide-angle camera: for high-frame-rate video transmission and vision demos. Web application and Jupyter Lab: browser control, tutorials and interactive programming without an extra PC app. Four variants: PI4B or PI5 kit, each with or without Raspberry Pi.
