Introduction

Overview

VG-450 is a fast, agile, compact robotic open-source research platform specially

designed for UGV developers and scientific researchers, providing abundant demo

routines, such as outdoor waypoint planning, 2D LiDAR mapping and obstacle

avoidance, 3D mapping, etc.

This development platform is based on ROS open-source system and APM auto

navigation system and also equipped with multiple sensors, such as LiDAR, binocular

camera, depth camera, RTK, which is suitable for applied research on autonomous

delivery vehicles, service robots, and add-on function development.
