Kit Agilex ROS2 Pro

Key Features and Capabilities

• Advanced Sensor Suite: The Pro version is distinguished by its inclusion of a high-performance 3D LiDAR (such as the RS16 Educational Edition) for superior environmental perception, alongside a depth camera (e.g., RealSense D435), an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and other necessary sensors. This comprehensive suite enables advanced 3D mapping and more robust navigation.
• High-Performance Computing: It features an onboard industrial control machine, often a powerful Mini PC with an i7 processor, substantial RAM (e.g., 16GB), and storage (e.g., 512GB SSD), running on an X86 architecture for efficient data processing and complex algorithm execution.
• ROS 2 and Navigation: The kit is built on the ROS 2 Foxy framework and supports advanced robotics functions, including full compatibility with the NAV 2 Navigation Stack for autonomous navigation, path planning, and obstacle avoidance.
• Integrated Development Environment: It comes pre-installed with the software environment, including Gazebo 11 for realistic robot simulation and a variety of ROS 2 packages (e.g., navigation2, rtabmap_ros for Visual SLAM, and chassis communication packages), providing a seamless platform for development.
• Multi-Platform Compatibility: The kit is designed to be easily mounted on various AgileX mobile robot chassis platforms, such as the Scout, Hunter, and Bunker series (note: the mobile robot chassis is typically NOT included and must be purchased separately).
• Connectivity and Interface: Includes essential peripherals like a portable display, wireless keyboard, router, and USB hub, supporting both direct and remote development (e.g., via Nomachine or LAN).
• Educational and Research Focus: It serves as a comprehensive, integrated development platform with detailed developer documentation and demo resources, making it an ideal tool for in-depth learning, testing, and developing advanced mobile robot applications like autonomous inspection, security, logistics, and exploration.

The AgileX ROS2 Pro Kit provides researchers and developers with a powerful and fully configured hardware and software system to immediately begin working on complex SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), navigation, and computer vision projects within the modern ROS 2 ecosystem.
