Last month the Husarion team has participated in the EnRicH 2025 robotics hackathon, where we had the opportunity to showcase Husarion Lynx UGV platform in a real-world nuclear accident scenario.

It was really exciting to see our platform in action, and we are proud to announce that we won the Best Radiation Mapping Award!

The Husarion UGV Configurator is a simple yet powerful tool that will simplify the way you configure, manage, and interact with your robot platform. It's designed as a Textual User Interface (TUI) application that brings a lot of useful tools in a user-friendly interface.

Continue reading to learn more about its key features, including:

1. ROS configuration management
   • Modify controller parameters such as velocity limits
   • Add URDF components
   • Manage and create custom animations
   • Restore default configuration
2. Driver control
   • Restart the driver
   • View real-time logs
   • Update driver version
3. Accessing robot information
   • Quick access to robot information such as: robot model, serial number, driver version, etc.

We’re excited to announce a major update to the Husarion UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) ROS 2 driver, rebranded and upgraded from Panther ROS 2 driver to accommodate multiple Husarion robotic platforms. This enhancement is not just a name change, it's an evolution into a more versatile and universally applicable driver across all Husarion UGV platforms. Whether you're already using the Panther or exploring the new Husarion Lynx, this enhanced driver brings powerful improvements designed to support the full range of our UGVs.

Continue reading to explore the key features of the Husarion UGV ROS 2 driver, including:

• Support for multiple platforms, including Husarion Lynx mobile platform.
• New, more versatile, visually appealing, and informative LED animations.
• Simplified configuration management of the ROS driver.
• WebUI, now available by default, with new features like AUX power and motor torque management.
• Switch to gamepad controller XInput mode.

Panther and Lynx are versatile mobile robot platforms designed for a wide range of applications. One popular use case is autonomous navigation, such as transporting goods in industrial or logistics settings.

To make this easier, we’ve created a reference autonomy setup that’s modular, open-source, and easy to adapt to your needs. It's available on our GitHub: 👉 husarion-ugv-autonomy

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through:

• System architecture and component layout.
• How to adapt the setup to your specific project requirements.
• Preparing the WiBotic charging station for autonomous docking.
• Mapping, navigation, and docking procedures
