Introduction

ROS (Robot Operating System) is a flexible framework for writing robot software. It integrates a rich set of tools and libraries, providing a solid foundation for building complex robot applications. Yahboom provide a variety of robot platforms, sensor modules to help users achieve transition from simple projects to complex systems.


In recent years, Yahboom has released several classic ROS robot cars, including ROSMASTER X3 and ROSMASTER X3 PLUS with Mecanum wheel chassis, ROSMASTER R2 with Ackerman chassis, Transbot with tracked chassis, and DOFBOT with robotic arms.

With their outstanding design, powerful performance, stable structure, excellent quality and detailed courses, they have won unanimous praise from many university teachers, students and ROS robot enthusiasts.

We have not stopped innovating, and have been optimizing, innovating, and upgrading the ROS series of products.

We will now summarize and introduce the upgraded robot. It has not only made many optimizations and improvements in hardware, but also fully supports ROS2 in software.

At this point, we have to mention the current status of development boards in the fields of robotics and other fields: In recent years, NVIDIA Jetson Nano has been well-known in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence for its good computing power, but as time goes by, more and more excellent development boards have been launched one after another.

For example, the newly launched Raspberry Pi 5, although its computing power is slightly lower, costs less than $100, so some ROS projects can be developed at a very low cost.

The performance of NVIDIA's system-level module Jetson Orin Nano is even higher, with computing power 80 times that of Jetson Nano, and its performance in ROS projects is even better.

It has to be said that their appearance gives robots more choices!

These robots in the Yahboom ROS series will be fully compatible with the following four boards,allowing more users to choose according to their own needs.

Compatible with the following four boards:

Note: Only ROSMASTER X3, ROSMASTER X3 PLUS and ROSMASTER R2 Robots are fully compatible with these four boards. 

Moreover, these ROS robots are equipped with a new ROS control system, as well as ROS robot expansion board and USB HUB expansion board.

Whether it is Raspberry Pi 5, Jetson Nano or the more advanced Jetson Orin Nano development board, you can now freely develop on the ROS robot.

Users can choose the appropriate main control board for better development according to the actual situation of the project!

 

After several years of development, the ROS operating system has supported the development and operation of countless robot projects. With the continuous development of technology and the changes in scene application requirements, the market has put forward higher requirements for the robot development framework. In order to deepen the application of robots in scenes, ROS2 came into being.

Compared with ROS1, ROS2 has been significantly improved in terms of communication mechanism, real-time performance, and system support.

After upgrading to ROS2, the ROS robot car will have better expressiveness, helping users to better learn ROS and artificial intelligence robots.

Yahboom ROS series of robots have also fully added the ROS2 operating system.
