The Mecanum Rover G120A is an ultra-large vehicle that is capable of moving in all directions thanks to its mecanum wheels. It achieves a maximum speed of 1.6 m/s as measured, making it suitable for various research and development applications. By precisely controlling all four wheels, it can turn in place and move sideways without changing the orientation of the vehicle, making it particularly suitable for applications that require accurate external position control. Each drive wheel is equipped with an encoder, allowing for precise movement using speed feedback, and it also features independent suspension for all four wheels to ensure that each wheel maintains contact with the ground.

The control board "VS-WRC058" mounted on the Mecanum Rover G120A supports wireless communication via Wi-Fi and wired USB serial communication. By using specified commands, it can be controlled from various devices such as PCs and tablets. Additionally, the included gamepad-style wireless controller "VS-C3" allows for wireless operation of the main unit without needing to connect to a PC. The analog stick can be used to move and rotate in all directions, making it suitable for manual operation for functionality checks or as an emergency control method. The control board "VS-WRC058" included in this product is equipped with the ESP32-WROOM-32 microcontroller, allowing users to create control programs using the Arduino IDE. Sample code is provided with the product in the form of an Arduino library, enabling users to customize the firmware themselves. *Note: When programming the VS-WRC058 using the Arduino IDE, an environment where Arduino IDE 1.8.13 or higher operates is required.*

The Mecanum Rover G120A supports ROS 1 and ROS 2 message communication, allowing for ROS 1 message communication using the rosserial package by connecting to a device running ROS via Wi-Fi or USB cable. With the standard firmware, it is possible to send movement speed command values to this product from ROS using the geometry_msgs/Twist type, as well as to obtain the current speed and battery voltage from this product. Additionally, by modifying the firmware, users can send and receive arbitrary messages beyond those mentioned above. Furthermore, we plan to provide a model for the 3D simulator "Gazebo" for this product (depending on the desired functionality, additional development not included in the sample may be required). Please note that a separate device to run ROS needs to be prepared. The recommended operating environment for the devices we suggest is as follows (additional setup of libraries not included with this product may be required).
-
The Mecanum Rover G120A supports a wide range of optional components. It is possible to add sensors and configuration parts according to the application, allowing for the full utilization of the capabilities of large research and development cart robots in various research and development fields.
