The ROSbot 2.0 w/ LIDAR & RGBD Robotic Platform is an autonomous, open source robot platform running on CORE2-ROS controller.

It can be used as a learning platform for Robot Operating System as well as a base for a variety of robotic applications such as logistics robots, inspection robots, custom service robots etc.

ROSbot is an affordable robot platform for rapid development of autonomous robots. It can be a base for custom service robots, inspection robots and robots working in swarms.

You can use your ROSbot offline however it's recommended to connect to Husarion Cloud as it gives you access to a lot of additional functionalities like remote management and firmware updates.

ROSbot is powered from an internal, rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack that contains 3 Li-Ion cells, connected in series. This type of connection is called “3S”. The schematic explains how the cells are wired together and with the charging connector (on ROSbot side).

The BAT+ and BAT- are the power connections and the “bal Bxx” wires are used to monitor the voltage on each cell. It is strongly recommended to keep equal voltages on each cell during the charging process. The charger included with ROSbot can charge batteries in the described way and, thanks to that, the long life of the battery set is possible.

Please make sure that the user firmware always contains the function that monitors the supply voltage level. Deep discharging of batteries may decrease their lifecycle. Discharging to the voltage lower than 3.0V/cell can also trigger the over discharge protection. If the voltage is too low, turn ROSbot off and charge batteries as soon as possible.
