New Husarion OS release for ROSbot 3/XL

A new Husarion OS build (2026.09.30) is rolling out now. It's the biggest update to what ships out of the box since the last release in August 2025, and ROSbot 3 and ROSbot XL owners will feel it the most:

  • Husarion Cockpit adds a web panel for driving and managing the robot: teleop with a live camera view, ROS 2 configuration, and robot state at a glance, all from a phone or laptop.
  • Nav2 built into the rosbot snap means no separate demo repo to clone, so you can go from unboxing to autonomous navigation in minutes.
  • Ubuntu 24.04 support for Jetson: the latest Tegra/L4T kernel (39.2.1) moves the Jetson Orin image to an Ubuntu 24.04 base, which brings ROS 2 Jazzy natively.
  • The latest ROSbot drivers and snaps: this build ships on top of the latest rosbot_ros driver, so ROSbot's sensors pick up their ROS 2 config on their own. Set it once on the robot, and every chained LiDAR or camera follows. See the driver release post for namespaces, Zenoh, and the firmware rewrite.
  • A handful of smaller quality-of-life fixes: easier login without remembering an IP, full sensor integration out of the box, and more.

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
