Waveshare 6x4 Off-Road UGV Mobile Robot Chassis With Extension Rails and ESP32
Waveshare 6x4 Off-Road UGV Mobile Robot Chassis With Extension Rails and ESP32 The UGV02 series is a 6-wheel × 4WD mobile robot chassis designed for off-road robot applications with excellent shock absorption and stability. As an ESP32-based robot, it is fully open-source, making it ideal for AI robot development, automation, and robotics research. It supports Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, and Jetson Orin Nano, enabling seamless communication with the ESP32-based slave controller for precise control. The built-in 3S UPS power module supports 3 × 18650 Li batteries (not included) for uninterrupted power supply and simultaneous charging. Equipped with a multi-functional ESP32 robot driver board, it features WiFi, Bluetooth, serial bus servo control, PWM output, and a TF card slot, making it a versatile autonomous robot platform. The 6-wheel robot chassis with 4WD drive ensures strong traction on rough terrains, while flexible rubber tires absorb shocks. It also includes two 1020 European standard profile rails for easy expansion, making it perfect for robot development and customization. Features High-Speed Motor with Precision Control Features high-frequency PID closed-loop speed control, ensuring quick response and accurate speed control. The high-speed motors enable movement up to 1.3m/s. Durable High-Strength Aluminum Body Built with 2mm thick 5052 aluminum alloy, offering excellent protection, durability, and stability while safeguarding internal components during use. Advanced Shock Absorption System Designed to reduce impact from rough terrains, extending the robot's lifespan by minimizing wear and tear on internal and external components. Flexible Rubber Tires for Enhanced Traction The high-quality rubber tires adapt to uneven surfaces, increasing friction and stability, ensuring smooth movement even on rough terrains. Open-Source Web Application for Remote Control If no known WiFi is detected, the robot automatically creates a hotspot for wireless control via a browser. Supports secondary development for custom functions. Rich Interface and Peripheral Support Equipped with a 0.91-inch OLED display, allowing real-time updates via the Web app or host UART interface. Optimized for Complex Terrain Navigation The 6-wheel × 4WD design offers greater stability, larger ground contact area, and stronger traction, making it ideal for off-road and obstacle-filled environments. Rich Open-Source Demos & Direct Peripheral Control Enables JSON-based Web app or UART commands to control servos, modify OLED display content, access IMU data, and more, making it easier for robot development and integration.
