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

We are excited to announce the beta release of the ROS 2 Humble driver for the Panther UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle), which brings new features designed to improve real-time performance, provide better control of hardware components, and offer advanced diagnostic monitoring. In this blog post, we’ll highlight the key advantages of the ROS 2 driver compared to its predecessor, with a focus on improvements in communication, integration with side frameworks, and the introduction of new features.

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

• Full control of robot hardware components through the robust ros2_control framework.
• Optimization for a real-time Linux kernel, ensuring enhanced performance.
• Advanced safety features and state management powered by BehaviorTree.
• A refined Gazebo simulation with easy robot configuration management.

As proud members of the global ROS community, Husarion is pleased to support ROSCon 2022 in Kyoto as a Silver Sponsor.

Here is a sneak peek of what you will be able to see at our Booth 11:

• ROSbot XL - premiere of our brand new autonomous mobile robot
• presentation of Panther - an industrial grade, professional UGV dedicated for outdoor environment
• presentation of our partnership with Vulcanexus - great use cases of their software performing on our ROSbot XL.
