Raph Rover (UGV platform)

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

It features a robust aluminum housing, a large mounting plate, and pre-installed sensors, allowing it to be used “out-of-the-box” and built for real-world research and development environments.

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

It is also equipped with a rear-wheel-steering drive, providing high maneuverability.
