Leo Rover – a small-sized, four-wheeled, open-source robotic platform manufactured and developed in Wrocław, Poland, by fictionlab sp. z o.o. (Polish equivalent of LLC).[1] Originally introduced to the market in 2017 under the name „Turtle”, it was later rebranded as „Leo Rover”.[2][3]
Design and performance
editThe Leo Rover is a small, remotely controlled, four-wheeled rover, measuring 433 mm in length, 447 mm in width, and 249 mm in height. It weighs 6.5 kg and features in-hub DC motors with a 73.2:1 planetary gearbox and 12 CPR encoder to power each wheel. The wheels are made of rubber with foam inserts. The robot is equipped with a 5000 mAh Li-ion battery of 11.1 V DC. It can achieve a maximum linear speed of approximately 0.4 m/s and an angular speed of up to 60 deg/s. The front of the robot's body houses a 5 MPx camera with a 170-degree field of view. The rover's top surface features numerous mounting holes to attach additional hardware, and it has a nominal payload capacity of 5 kg. The robot is equipped with a 2.4 GHz WiFi access point with an external antenna. The majority of the robot's structural components are 3D-printed, resulting in a watertight design rated at the IP64 level.[4]
Software
editThe Leo Rover runs on Ubuntu 20.04 with ROS Noetic Ninjammys, and a Raspberry Pi 4 as its main computer.
European Rover Challenge
editFrom 2020 to 2022, the Leo Rover served as the standard robot used in the remote formula of the European Rover Challenge.[5][6]
Application area
editThe Leo Rover is predominantly used as a development platform for individuals and organizations to implement their own technological solutions by the connection of external electronics, modification of the open-source software, and adjustments to the robot's design. The primary consumers of this product are universities and research facilities, employing the robot for various projects and research purposes.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
