Pickerbot Plus

Pickerbot Plus is an ideal R&D platform for outdoor robot applications such as agriculture, mining and construction projects. 

Pickerbot Plus is equipped with UR5e 6-axis robotic arm, 4WD Independent Suspension System, builtin ROS Computer (Jetson Orin Nano or Orin NX), 3D LiDAR and Depth Camera.  

Pickerbot Plus is developed based on an R&D project for a tomato picking robot. The successful formula of integrating robotic chassis, arm and gripper with 99% computer vision accuracy is open for all robotic researchers and developers now. Pickerbot Plus saves time and money for rapid prototyping or product development of your own R&D projects. This is a professional field robot platform for outdoor commercial applications in the fields of agriculture, mining and construction industries.  

Why ROS?

ROS is the most popular robot operating system in the world. A hardware platform based on ROS will benefit the user gaining extensive practical skills from the world’s most promising robot operating system. 

Quick Start

ROS and Ubuntu images are pre-loaded on Pickerbot Plus which include all the essential ROS software packages and drivers. Our online tutorial will guide the user how to launch Pickerbot Plus and its ROS packages within minutes. 

Complete Solution

Pickerbot Plus is a complete package for ROS learning and research projects bundled with all essential hardware components and ROS software. 

Expandable

Pickerbot Plus is expandable to add accessories such as GPS antenna, voice recognition modules, LCD screen and external keyboards etc..

Software Architecture

Pickerbot Plus is developed based on ROS 1 (Melodic on Ubuntu 18.04). Computer Vision algorithm is based on Yolo 4. Motion Planning Framework for the robotic arm is based on MoveIt. All the key components of Pickerbot Plus are now compatible with ROS 2. You may choose to switch to ROS 2 and develop your own ROS 2 packages.
