WHEELTEC Omni Wheel ROS Robot Chassis

The WHEELTEC Omni Wheel ROS Robot Chassis is a high-performance, all-metal development platform designed for advanced robotics research and education. Equipped with omnidirectional wheels for zero-radius turning, this versatile chassis is ideal for South African university students, researchers, and professional makers building autonomous navigation systems. It comes fully supported with comprehensive video tutorials and code-level resources to accelerate your ROS development.

Advanced lidar mapping and navigation

The chassis supports high-performance mapping and autonomous navigation using the integrated M10P Lidar. It is designed to work seamlessly with ROS packages, providing a robust hardware foundation for obstacle avoidance and real-time image transmission.

Research grade development platform

Built on ten years of chassis technology and six years of ROS educational resources, this platform is tailored specifically for low-cost scientific research. It offers a highly cost-effective solution for academic institutions and hobbyists looking to master complex robotic control.

Robust dual configuration options

Choose between the High-end version with a 60W MD36L motor and 22kg payload, or the Flagship version featuring a 100W MD60 motor and 35kg payload. Both models feature high-precision 500-line AB-phase encoders and an all-metal chassis for maximum durability.

High capacity lithium power supply

The platform is powered by a removable 24V 6000mAh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, offering up to 8 hours of continuous run time on the High-end model. It includes a 3C-certified 25.55V fast charger to ensure safe and efficient recharging.

Zero turning radius mobility

Thanks to its specialised omnidirectional wheels, measuring either 127mm or 152mm depending on the model, the chassis achieves a true 0m turning radius. This allows for agile, multi-directional movement in tight indoor environments and complex navigation courses.

Versatile control interfaces

Developers can interface with the chassis using an APP via Bluetooth or WiFi, a multi-mode smart controller, CAN, serial ports, or USB. This extensive connectivity ensures compatibility with a wide range of single-board computers and microcontrollers.
