"Research and development transport robot/AGV" - A large transport robot that achieves a load capacity of 120 kg, known as the monster machine.
The Mecanum Rover G120 is a monster machine that achieves a load capacity of 120 kg by re-evaluating all aspects of its wheel, motor, control board, and chassis structure, while still being based on the body structure of the popular Mecanum Rover. Despite being a super-large unit, it retains features such as compatibility with Arduino IDE and ROS, making it suitable for a wide range of research and development applications. The Mecanum Rover G120, while being a super-large unit, is capable of moving in all directions thanks to its mecanum wheels. It has a maximum speed of 1.3 m/s as measured, allowing it to cater to various research and development needs. It can change direction without a steering mechanism and move sideways without altering its orientation, making it particularly suitable for applications that require precise external position control. 【Features】 - Achieves a load capacity of approximately 120 kg - Equipped with four mecanum wheels for omnidirectional movement - Control via wired/wireless connection - Controlled through ROS message communication - Programmable with Arduino IDE - Easy operation with a dedicated wireless controller *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

The Mecanum Rover G120 achieves the highest payload capacity in its series by equipping it with large wheels and motors. To realize a larger chassis, we have re-evaluated the vehicle structure and battery, aiming for the same level of availability as before. We have received many requests to increase the payload capacity of our existing research and development transport robots. The Mecanum Rover G120 responds to those needs and makes research and development projects that were previously impossible a reality.

The Mecanum Rover G120 supports ROS message communication. By connecting to a device running ROS via Wi-Fi or USB cable, control using ROS becomes possible. Using ROS message communication, command values for speed and turning can be sent to the Mecanum Rover G120 with just a few lines of code, allowing for a wide range of applications as a ROS robot. Since an introductory document and the following sample programs are included, even beginners can create and easily operate a control system in a ROS environment. * You will need to prepare a device that runs ROS separately. * The operating environment for the devices we recommend is described below. 【List of ROS Sample Programs】 - Control from a gamepad - SLAM (gmapping) - Navigation - Control from a mouse (touchpad) - SLAM (cartographer) * Additional setup of libraries not included with this product may be required. * An LRF is necessary for performing SLAM and navigation. The LRF option is convenient to use.

The control board of the mecanum rover G120, "VS-WRC051," is equipped with the Arduino-compatible microcontroller ESP-WROOM-32. Therefore, you can create control programs for the mecanum rover G120 using the Arduino IDE. The included library contains motor control functions and communication functions, allowing you to create control programs with minimal development burden. *Note: When programming the VS-WRC051 using the Arduino IDE, an environment with Arduino IDE version 1.8.9 or higher is required.*

By using the gamepad-style wireless controller "VS-C3" included with this product, you can wirelessly control the mecanum rover G120 without connecting to a PC or other devices. You can move and rotate in all directions using the analog stick, making it useful for manual operation or for performing operation checks.
