TurtleBot3 is a modular mobile robot family from ROBOTIS for education and research with ROS.
TurtleBot3 is a modular mobile robot family from ROBOTIS for education and research with ROS. For a course, this is a platform for implementing a navigation task on physical hardware. Select the configuration and record the computer, sensor and software combination. Burger and Waffle Pi belong to one family but have different dimensions and load ratings. Teachers should prevent exercises being compared across configurations without noting those differences. Set up a defined test area and describe how students restore the robot afterwards. Expansion requires its own integration plan; a high stated load rating does not confirm that every added module fits the intended lesson or experiment.
