HCR Mobile Robot Platform Kit with Omni Wheels

The HCR Mobile Robot Platform Kit with Omni Wheels is an open-source robotic base built for autonomous navigation and robotics research. Featuring a modular metal chassis and encoder DC motors, it provides students, educators, and makers with a reliable foundation for experimental movement and control systems.

Three omnidirectional wheels

The platform is equipped with three omni wheels that enable multi-directional movement and rotation. This omnidirectional drive layout allows the robot to navigate tight spaces without complex turning manoeuvres.

Precision encoder DC motors

Driven by DC motors with integrated encoders, the platform supplies the feedback needed for accurate wheel speed and position tracking. This makes it well suited for closed-loop motion control algorithms.

Modular metal chassis

The chassis is constructed from metal for physical stability and long-term durability in lab and classroom environments. Its modular layout provides ample room to mount development boards, sensors, and project payloads.

Autonomous navigation research testbed

Engineered as an open-source system, this mobile base is intended for robotics research and autonomous navigation projects. Users can adapt both hardware and software to explore path planning, mapping, and mobile robotics concepts.
