Agilex Autoware Open Source Autonomous Kit

Key Features & Capabilities

• Full-Stack and Integrated: Combines powerful sensor hardware with the open-source Autoware software framework, built on the Robot Operating System (ROS).³
• High-Precision Localization: Utilizes 3D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) localization technology, often featuring a multi-line LiDAR (e.g., RoboSense RS-LiDAR-16) for ⁴$\pm 2 \text{cm}$ typical accuracy and a measurement range up to ⁵$150 \text{m}$.⁶
• All-Terrain Adaptability: Seamlessly integrates with various AgileX all-terrain robot chassis (like HUNTER, BUNKER, SCOUT, etc.), making it suitable for both urban road e off-road environments.⁷
• Core Autonomous Functions: Supports critical functions essential for autonomous navigation:⁸
  • 3D Point Cloud Mapping⁹
  • Localization and Navigation using 3D point cloud data¹⁰
  • Autonomous Path Planning with Obstacle Avoidance
  • Advanced maneuvers like Parking and Lane Changes
  • Editing vector maps (for lane lines, zebra crossings, etc.)¹¹
• Open-Source & Extensible: The ROS-based architecture allows easy integration of existing libraries or new payloads and sensors (like GPS modules, depth cameras, etc.) for customized applications.¹²
• Development Ready: Includes a powerful industrial control system (e.g., Intel i7 CPU) and pre-installed ROS nodes, allowing users to quickly start autonomous robot deployment and research.¹³

Ideal For:

• Academic research and education in robotics and autonomous systems.¹⁴
• Industry developers looking for a ready-to-use platform to prototype and validate autonomous driving algorithms.¹⁵
• Projects requiring wire-controlled vehicle operation via ROS.¹⁶
