Overview
The AgileX Ranger Mini 3.0 is a programmable omnidirectional unmanned ground vehicle built on a modular chassis with four-wheel independent steering. AgileX describes it as combining the advantages of a differential chassis and an Ackermann chassis, giving it strong passing ability and ground adaptability on common road surfaces as well as more complex terrain.
The platform supports several movement modes, including an in-place spin that allows it to turn on the spot, alongside Ackermann-style steering for smoother travel. An open electrical interface and a standard CAN communication interface are configured at the rear of the chassis, making it straightforward to integrate external sensors and equipment.
Positioned for both industrial deployment and research, the Ranger Mini 3.0 can be fitted with payloads such as stereo cameras and other sensors using its mounting rails, and AgileX provides open development resources to extend its capabilities.
