DESCRIPTION

Mega Rover Ver.3.0 is a Mobile-Robots from Vstone. It is built for Development, Navigation, Research. Key figures: 14.2 kg, 2520 min runtime, 40 kg payload, price ¥385,000.

Mega Rover Ver.3.0 is the core model of Vstone's research mobile robot line and the successor to Mega Rover Ver2.1. It keeps the large aluminium body with about 40 kg payload, Arduino IDE support and ROS compatibility, and moves to direct-drive in-wheel motors that make it much quieter, a choice shaped by Vstone's work on communication robots so it suits user-friendly service and agent systems as well as logistics automation. Two 40 W BLDC motors with a rear caster drive it at up to 1.6 m/s, and it supports ROS 1 and ROS 2. Like the rest of Vstone's research mobile-base line, it has an aluminium frame that is easy to machine and extend, a VS-WRC058 control board (ESP32) programmable from the Arduino IDE with a supplied library, and USB-serial and Wi-Fi control, and it can be ordered with options such as LiDAR, bumpers, an expansion power board, a ROS PC, depth camera, pan-tilt unit and the AMIR 740 arm.
