Overview
The Scout Mini is a high-speed compact mobile robot from AgileX Robotics, built around a four-wheel-drive chassis with a lightweight power system. It is positioned as a research and development platform suitable for academic, educational, and industrial autonomy projects.
The platform uses four-wheel independent servo drive paired with double-wishbone independent suspension, allowing it to handle uneven terrain and inclines. Buyers can choose standard wheels, which give differential-drive steering, or a mecanum wheel kit, which enables omnidirectional movement.
The Scout Mini provides aluminum T-slot mounting rails for attaching external sensors and kits, communicates over a CAN bus interface, and ships with an open SDK plus ROS compatibility, making it straightforward to extend for SLAM, navigation, and vision applications.
Key Features
- Four-wheel independent servo drive with double-wishbone independent suspension for stable off-flat-ground performance
