AgileX Autopilot Kit

AgileX Autopilot Kit: autonomous, customised driving

The AgileX Autopilot robotics kit consists of different modules designed to enable the autonomous navigation of your robotics chassis. The AgileX Autopilot uses numerous navigation instruments and GPS technology for point-to-point navigation: IMU, laser, binocular camera, depth camera, etc.

Your mobile platform will be able to navigate a given route while avoiding obstacles, and also find its way in an unfamiliar environment.

The AgileX Autopilot Kit includes:

• Interchangeable with any mobile chassis from the AgileX range: Scout Mini off-road version, Bunker, Scout 2.0
• an Intel RealSense T265 binocular camera
• an Intel RealSense D435i stereo depth camera
• a RPLidar LiDAR with time-of-flight technology
• a satellite communication module identifying various signals, including GPS triangulation
• a Pixhawk 4 Autopilot navigation system with gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer and GPS
• an on-board computer with Ubuntu 18.04

Multiple applications thanks to a combined hardware and software system

With the AgileX Autopilot Kit, you will enjoy far more development and application possibilities than with a traditional mobile platform. Thanks to the mechanical capabilities of the various adaptable chassis, your kit will have all the qualities of an off-road vehicle. Its programming environment and resources are entirely open-source for immediately developing applications in various scenarios: environmental monitoring, agriculture, outdoor survey, surveillance and security, etc.
