Canonical robot record
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.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.
