🚗 About EduRover

EduRover is a modular, open-source robotics platform based on Mecanum wheels. It is designed for educational use, enabling students and hobbyists to explore autonomous navigation, control systems, and embedded programming.

The platform is fully 3D-printable and uses easily accessible components such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, LiDAR, and IMU modules. Its omnidirectional mobility makes it ideal for indoor SLAM and autonomous exploration projects.

✨ Features

  • Mecanum-wheel design for full 360° motion
  • Modular frame suitable for 3D printing
  • ROS/ROS 2 compatible software stack
  • Expandable sensor suite: LiDAR, IMU, camera
  • Real-time web-based GUI for control and telemetry

🛠️ Use Cases

EduRover is ideal for:

  • University robotics courses
  • Undergraduate projects
  • SLAM, path planning, and sensor fusion experiments
  • Demonstrations of nonholonomic vs holonomic motion
