Robotics are becoming an increasingly familiar feature in our daily lives, offering innovative solutions for a wide range of applications. Mobile robots, in particular, are drawing a great deal of interest in sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, research or education. In this respect, Robotic Operating System (ROS)-compatible autonomous robots play a key part in their development and deployment. Among these UGV and AMR systems, the Husarion mobile robots offer a comprehensive, high-performance solution for the development of autonomous robots.
Overview
Husarion: Open-Source Autonomous Mobile Robots
Husarion mobile robots are natively ROS-compatible. ROS is a development framework widely used in robotics, which makes Husarion robots great tools for engineers and developers who don’t want to spend too long on setting up and configuring their robot. ROS allows to developers to dive straight into applications development. Husarion also provides free access to some comprehensive online documentation.
Husarnet: a P2P VPN network dedicated to robots
Husarion also sells Husarnet, an innovative connectivity solution designed for robots, autonomous vehicles and industrial IoT applications. It offers a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) virtual private network (VPN) solution that enables devices to communicate directly with each other, without the need for data transfer via a centralized server or cloud. This approach is particularly advantageous for applications requiring fast, reliable and secure connectivity and data transfer.
Panther: an industrial-grade all-terrain UGV
Panther is a revolution in mobile robotics, as it is an open-source system and has an 8h battery life! It runs on the ROS and ROS2 operating systems, and delivers an accurate autonomous navigation. Equipped with a LiDAR or a camera (optional), it can map in real time, avoid obstacles and navigate smoothly in complex environments.
As a truly multi-purpose UGV, Panther can be used in a wide range of sectors, including logistics, intelligent agriculture and environmental monitoring. It can be truly autonomous in a broad range of challenging conditions, making it a flexible tool for a wide spectrum of applications. Panther can also be fitted with additional accessories such as a robotic arm, LiDAR, depth cameras, GPS and other equipment.
Key features :
