Overview
Dingo is a lightweight, compact indoor mobile robot from Clearpath Robotics aimed at robotics researchers and educators. It is built to be a versatile, easy-to-deploy base platform for indoor autonomy work such as navigation, mapping, and mobile manipulation.
The platform is offered in two drive configurations: Dingo-D with differential drive and Dingo-O with omnidirectional drive, letting users pick the motion model that best fits their application. Both variants ship with the open-source Robot Operating System (ROS) preconfigured, along with a simulation model, so teams can get started quickly using widely available ROS libraries.
Dingo's modular design lets it be customized and tailored to a specific application, and it integrates with an extensive range of third-party sensors and accessories including lidars, cameras, and manipulators.
