Linorobot is a suite of open-source ROS-compatible autonomous ground robots (2WD, 4WD, Ackermann steering, mecanum drive) with Teensy-based firmware and ROS integration for SLAM and autonomous navigation. It provides students, developers, and researchers a low-cost platform for building robots on top of ROS.

Use cases

  • build a low-cost ROS-compatible autonomous robot from scratch
  • create 2D maps with SLAM and navigate autonomously with AMCL
  • set up a base controller with odometry for the ROS Navigation Stack
  • integrate lidar or depth camera sensors with ROS for mapping
  • experiment with different drive types like mecanum or Ackermann steering
  • learn robot development with ROS through a guided tutorial

When to choose

  • you want a complete open-source hardware and software reference for a ROS1 mobile robot
  • you need a low-cost educational platform supporting multiple drive kinematics
  • you're running ROS Indigo or Kinetic on Ubuntu 14.04/16.04 with an ARM dev board like Raspberry Pi

When to avoid

  • you're starting a new project on ROS2 - use linorobot2 instead
  • you need support for modern Ubuntu/ROS distributions
  • you want a ready-made commercial robot rather than a DIY build
