RoboSavvy Self-balancing robotic platform

A robust, reliable and flexible self-balancing mobile platform for robotic applications.

This platform provides researchers, engineers and hackers the ability to easily design their robotic application on top of a modular hardware interface. The user can quickly develop and integrate their own hardware, integrate sensors, manipulators, other types of payload and third party equipment on top of the platform.

Features

• Self-balancing mobile platform for loads from 10 kg up to 100 kg.
• Integrated PC running Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Kinetic.
• Urban dweller and countryside explorer.
• Dual control:
  1. RC input
  2. Ethernet protocol
• ROS packages for communication, visualization and simulation.

Tutorials

You can find tutorials on how to configure your software to run the platform and on how to use the simulated RoboSavvy's self-balance platform.

All packages were developed and tested on Ubuntu 16.04 + ROS Kinetic.
