The easiest way to program and customize your own robot

More compact and lighter than most, the Leo Rover mobile robot consists of a rectangular platform mounted on a 4-wheel drive chassis, capable of adapting to the most difficult terrains as it's designed to be reliable, watertight, and extendable. Open-source reversible software enables you to go deep into a core and gives you the opportunity to freely try new ideas.

A WiFi hotspot and live video streaming

This Raspberry Pi mobile robot can generate a WiFi hotspot to which you can then connect simply using your tablet, mobile phone, or computer. You will then benefit from a 2.4 GHz wireless connection and be able to control your mobile robot remotely on Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux. Then launch the live video streaming to see through your rover’s eyes thanks to its onboard camera! The camera has a resolution of 5 MPx and uses a Fisheye lens with a 170 deg field of view. The rover’s intuitive live streaming software was inspired by the missions carried out by exploration robots on Mars.
