QBOT PLATFORM

High-performance Autonomous Ground Robot for Indoor Labs


The Quanser QBot Platform is an innovative open-architecture autonomous ground robot, built on a differential mobile
platform. This solution is ideal for teaching undergraduate and graduate mobile robotics as it is accompanied by
comprehensive courseware and equipped with built-in sensors such as LiDAR, front-facing RealSense camera, downward-facing
camera, gyroscope, and accelerometer, all powered by an onboard NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano computer.

The QBot Platform provides an electromechanical prototyping bay for adding project components. It is also equipped with
a reinforced landing pad for drones and additional cargo. The open control architecture allows users to seamlessly integrate
off-the-shelf sensors and customize the QBot Platform for their research. The solution is well suited for designing and
developing applications related to autonomy, navigation and control, machine learning, computer vision, multiagent
heterogenous and swarm robotics, and more.
