Lidarbot Odos open-source mobile base with Mecanum wheels

Lidarbot Odos: mobile robot with integrated Lidar

Lidarbot is equipped with the YDLidar X2, a 360-degree two-dimensional distance measurement Lidar with a sampling rate of 3000 Hz. It works on the principle of triangulation to determine the distance and position of obstacles.

The Lidarbot Odos mobile base can thus take map readings that can be viewed on the display screen or anywhere else, using a Wi-Fi connection. The detection capacity of the laser rangefinder is between 10 cm and 8 m distance and offers stability and accuracy.

A multi-directional and autonomous AGV mobile base

Lidarbot Odos is a Lidar robot equipped with 4 Mecanum wheels. These allow the mobile base to move in all directions without turning the wheels, forwards, backwards and sideways. The platform is LEGO-compatible, which means that the chassis can be adapted in many ways.

This AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) comes with a remote control joystick. This control allows you to control the speed of the robot by taking control of the PWM or the voltage level.

Program Odos to win challenges such as maze crossing, autopilot, or guide him inside your lab using his joystick. Other applications are possible: in this case, you have to modify its open-source code.
