myAGV 2023 four-wheel mobile robot ships with Raspberry Pi 4 or Jetson Nano

Elephant Robotics myAGV 2023 is a 4-wheel mobile robot available with either Raspberry Pi 4 Model B SBC or NVIDIA Jetson Nano B01 developer kit, and it supports five different types of robotic arms to cater to various use cases.

Compared to the previous generation myAGV robot, the 2023 model is fitted with high-performance planetary brushless DC motors, supports vacuum placement control, can take a backup battery, handles large payloads up to 5 kg, and integrates customizable LED lighting at the rear.

myAGV 2023 specifications:

• Control board

Both myAGV 2023 models run Ubuntu 22.04 with ROS, support online firmware updates via myStudio, programming using either myBlockly visual programming or a Python API, a visualization software, and mapping and navigation, but the Raspberry Pi robot only supports 2D SLAM, while the Jetson Nano model can handle both 2D and 3D SLAM. None of those features were supported in the earlier myAGV robot.  More details about the software may be found on the documentation website.

Besides robotic arms, other optional accessories include a 7-inch HD IPS touchscreen display and a backup battery, and the Jetson Nano robot also supports ORBBEC Astra Pro 2 and Intel Realsense D435i 3D depth cameras which explains its 3D SLAM mapping and navigation capabilities.

Elephants Robotics sells both models on Aliexpress with the myAGV 2023 Pi going for $1,045 plus shipping and the myAGV 2023 Jetson Nano for $1,430. But if you also need some accessories you’d need to order the mobile robot from the company’s own store instead, as kits with a 7-inch display and/or a spare battery. The 3D depth cameras need to be purchased separately as the company does not sell those.
