A mobile robotics base built for experimenting, instrumenting, and iterating

  • Open-source platform (software and hardware) for full-stack control.
  • ROS 2 ready: direct integration into the ROS ecosystem (navigation, perception, simulation, tools).
  • Payload capacity suitable for sensors and subsystems (up to 10 kg).
  • Field-oriented mobility: linear speed up to 1.8 m/s and angular speed up to 4.7 rad/s.
  • IP54 protection and an operating temperature range from -10°C to +40°C.
  • Onboard perception sensors: stereo camera (Luxonis OAK-D Pro W) + 360° 2D LiDAR (RPLidar S3).
  • Network connectivity via an industrial router (Teltonika RUTX10) with a stated range up to 100 m.

In practice, Raph Rover provides a stable base to develop and validate navigation, perception, and control components without starting from a chassis “from scratch”. 

The onboard computer (UPBoard 7000 based on Intel N100) provides a compact x86 platform to run ROS 2 nodes, vision processing (detection, depth), and test pipelines. 

The mechanical design includes a mounting plate and a regular hole grid, making it straightforward to integrate additional sensors, a lightweight arm, a measurement module, or experimental payloads while keeping wiring controlled.

Realistic scenarios to validate navigation, perception, and on-site supervision

Examples of typical projects (academic and industrial) where Raph Rover is a good fit:

  • ROS 2 autonomous navigation: Nav2 integration, 2D mapping, localization, trajectory tracking, obstacle handling with 2D LiDAR and odometry.
  • Multi-sensor perception: fusion of stereo camera + LiDAR (obstacle detection, depth estimation, segmentation), testing in low-light conditions.
  • Inspection and monitoring: instrumented patrols (factory corridors, storage areas, technical sites) with video capture, additional measurements (gas, temperature, vibration), and network uplink.
  • Robotic service prototyping: lightweight logistics demos on construction sites (tool/sensor transport), point-of-interest tracking, remote supervision and teleoperation.
  • Precision agriculture: image and visual index collection close to crops, row navigation, repeatable measurements on an experimental plot.
  • “Learning & control” research: field dataset collection, policy testing, comparison of approaches (PID/MPC/RL) on a constant hardware baseline.

Across these projects, the main value is having an instrumented mobile robot that is reproducible and suitable for fast iteration: ROS 2 configuration, sensor tuning, algorithm experiments, then validation on more “real” routes (ground variations, lighting, obstacles, connectivity).
