- 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.
