WHEELTEC Ackermann Steering ROS Robot Chassis

The WHEELTEC Ackermann Steering ROS Robot Chassis is a high-performance development platform designed for advanced robotics research, education, and autonomous driving simulation. Mimicking the steering geometry of modern electric vehicles, this chassis is ideal for university students, researchers, and professional developers looking to master ROS-based mapping, navigation, and AI integration.

Standard pendulum suspension version

The standard R680 configuration features a coaxial pendulum suspension system designed to handle uneven terrain. It supports LiDAR-based mapping, autonomous navigation, and AI multimodal large model interaction, backed by over 16GB of code-level video tutorials.

Advanced chassis configuration options

For larger-scale projects, the chassis is available in Plus and Super versions. These upgraded configurations feature integrated displays, enhanced structural frames, and heavy-duty suspension systems to accommodate complex sensor payloads.

Authentic Ackermann steering geometry

Built on eleven years of chassis development expertise, the R680 utilizes a true Ackermann steering structure widely used in modern electric vehicles. This design provides realistic driving physics, making it an excellent physical testbed for self-driving algorithms and vehicle dynamics research.

Comprehensive technical specifications

Depending on the model, the chassis supports payloads from 25kg up to 45kg and speeds up to 1.65 m/s, powered by 24V LiFePO4 batteries (6000mAh or 20000mAh). It utilizes high-precision 500-line AB-phase encoders alongside digital metal servos (20kg or 60kg torque) and robust DC motors (60W MD36L or 100W MD60) for precise locomotion.
