UNIVERSITY LABS / RESEARCH & EDUCATION

ROS mobile robot platforms for research and education.

Evaluate a ROS 1 / ROS 2 platform from a team with in-house robotics R&D and research collaboration with relevant teams at Tongji University and Jiangnan University. Match hardware, algorithm interfaces and the ROS environment to your experiment.

EXPERIMENT PLANNING

Choose hardware around the research question.

Navigation & perception

For experiments in mapping, localization or perception, define required sensors, data access and ground-truth or validation methods.

Control & integration

For motion-control and system-integration work, confirm commands, feedback, timing requirements and the scope of software access.

Teaching & prototyping

For course work or prototypes, plan lab space, mounting loads, supervision, documentation and reproducible setup.

These are evaluation scenarios. Algorithm packages, simulation models, teaching materials and experimental performance are subject to the agreed configuration and delivery scope.

PLATFORM SHORTLIST

Match footprint, payload and motion to your lab.

Maximum and rated payload are different specification labels. Confirm test conditions, load distribution, center of gravity and operating speed for your project. SR-C600: 50 kg maximum payload and 20 Ah battery in the standard configuration; 150 kg payload and 30 Ah battery options. Confirm the specifications of the selected configuration.

SOFTWARE & DOCUMENTATION

Specify the ROS environment before ordering.

Supported across the chassis series

SR-C400, SR-C500, SR-C600, SR-C800 and SR-X700 support ROS 1 and ROS 2. Version support alone does not define every package or software deliverable.
