OriginBot
OriginBot is an open-source kit for intelligent robots and a community-driven project designed to let every participant enjoy the process of robot development.
Open-Source Collaboration
"Open source is power"—this is the core spirit of OriginBot, and we welcome every developer to participate.
▶ Open-Source Ecosystem
Continuous Iteration ◀
Why stop? Progress is infinite. Each step forward brings joy. With strong community support, OriginBot and its developers continuously advance. Both software and hardware are iteratively improved, ensuring growth with every version update.
Full-Stack Development
The journey of intelligent robot development is challenging, and OriginBot is here to support every developer along the way.
▶ Comprehensive Tech Stack
The OriginBot project spans multiple fields, including structural design, electronics, embedded systems, ROS, and artificial intelligence. Whatever your research focus, you can find your niche here, quickly grasp the complete robot design process, and master core development techniques.
Smart Applications
OriginBot features a simple structure but supports complex applications, enabling limitless possibilities.
▶ High-Performance Computing
OriginBot comes equipped with the Sweet Potato Robot Development Board - RDK X5, offering robust computational power. It supports various use cases such as CV acceleration, human tracking, gesture recognition, and visual line following, allowing you to experience the fun of AI and create truly "intelligent" robots.
Rich Applications ◀
OriginBot uses ROS2 and TogetheROS™.Bot (a deeply optimized ROS open-source robot operating system by D-Robotics) as its software foundation. It is compatible with many ROS ecosystem applications and is ready to use out of the box. It supports original applications and enables quick development of features like SLAM, navigation, visual processing, and machine learning.
Born from Passion
Every robot developer dreams of "building a robot from scratch," and OriginBot was created to fulfill this passion.
▶ Unique Identity
Each OriginBot is unique. The kit includes a license plate with a unique serial number, starting from "0000." When you attach the license plate to your robot, you become its owner. Endless possibilities await exploration.
