Raph Rover (UGV platform)

The Raph Rover is a fully integrated, ROS 2-based research and development platform, designed so that users can concentrate on algorithms and innovation — without having to build the hardware from scratch.

It features a rugged aluminium housing, a large mounting plate and pre-installed sensors, so that it can be used out of the box and is built for real-world research and development environments.

The platform supports modular extensions – your own sensors, grippers or cameras can be integrated easily.

All wheels are driven by their own motors, with the rear wheels additionally steerable. This results in high manoeuvrability combined with good traction.
