Complete platform for the development of safe AGVs and AMRs

Creating an AGV or an autonomous robot can be as lengthy as it is tedious. Ez-Wheel offers you a fully-equipped platform to start assembling your robot with a motorization, a processor, a battery, and a security system (LiDAR laser rangefinder) ready to use. In addition to being CE certified, this mobile base provides SIL2/PLd certified motion control and ensures compliance with ISO 3691-4 standard (standard for "unmanned trucks").

The onboard computer in your starter kit comes pre-installed with Linux and ROS to kickstart your robotic application development immediately, and at no extra cost. The integrated NiMH battery has a capacity of 9 Ah to ensure optimal autonomy for your device.

This mobile base allows you to assemble the robot or autonomous vehicle of your choice, equipped with a line-tracking sensor or an autonomous navigation system .

Two versions of the SWD Starter Kit are available to match your software environments and development methods:

  • SWD Starter Kit ROS: supplied with a Linux / ROS environment and the drivers required to control the platform, compatible with ROS and ROS 2. This version is suitable for research work and academic projects based on the ROS ecosystem.
  • SWD Starter Kit ez-Way: supplied with the ez-Way navigation software based on SLAM, for managing virtual line following functions and AGV navigation. Compatible with VDA 5050 specifications.

Use cases in research and autonomous mobile robotics

The development kit for AGVs and AMRs is designed for teams that need a ready-to-use platform to explore autonomous mobile robotics, functional safety and navigation in industrial or logistics environments:

  • Development and validation of AGVs and AGCs for internal logistics and load transport.
  • Design of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for shared and dynamic environments.
  • Academic research on functional safety, obstacle detection and the management of safety zones.
  • Student project platforms in mobile robotics, autonomous systems and control.
  • Development and testing of SLAM-based navigation and virtual line following algorithms.
  • Integration and evaluation of ROS / ROS 2 software stacks or VDA 5050-compliant software for AGV fleets.
  • Prototyping of autonomous intralogistics solutions in industrial environments or R&D centers.
