• Fully 3D Printable Chassis
• Custom designed PCB for Actuator Extensions
• ROS2 Driver Stack

The OpenRover chassis is designed from the ground up for full accessibility and rapid prototyping. Every structural component, suspension element, and wheel assembly can be fabricated on standard consumer 3D printers, lowering the barrier to entry for research, education, and field experimentation.

Expand your rover's physical capabilities with modular hardware interfaces:

• Dedicated Actuator Boards: Powered by custom hardware like the TriStepperController-PCB and its companion firmware TriStepperController-Firmware for multi-axis manipulation and specialized articulation.
• Integrated Power & Control: Centralized power delivery and communication architecture via RoverMaster-PCB.

OpenRover supports a wide variety of embedded computing platforms depending on your computational requirements:

• Edge AI & Vision: NVIDIA Jetson series (Orin, Xavier, Nano) for real-time neural network inference and visual SLAM.
• General Robotics Compute: Standard single-board computers (Raspberry Pi 4/5, Rock Pi, or x86 mini-PCs) for ROS2 orchestration, path planning, and sensor fusion.

A complete, modular software ecosystem ready for autonomous deployment and simulation:

• Core Robotics Stack: Unified workspace management and hardware interfacing via ROS2-WorkSpace.
• Perception & Sensors: Out-of-the-box support for 2D/3D LiDARs (sllidar_ros2, lidar-toolbox) and multi-camera pipelines (Spinnaker-Viewer).
• Navigation & Autonomy: Advanced vision-language navigation and spatial exploration via vl-explore, alongside trajectory coverage algorithms (TrjCoverage).
• Simulation & Telemetry: Rapid testing in habitat-sim-ros2 or lightweight 2D kinematics with RoboSim2D, paired with web-based operational monitoring via MissionControl and ZS-NAV-Map-Wizard.
