Robotont – avatud robotplatvorm õppe- ja teadustööks

What is Robotont?

Robotont is open-source platform for robotics education and research. It is an omnidirectional mobile robot with ROS (Robot Operating System) support. Development of robotont is coordinated by the Institute of Technology, University of Tartu.

Using Robotont

Anyone can use Robotont bacause of all the technical blueprints and software are publicly available in our GitHub. Robotont hardware platform is distributed by ClearBot. However, it is possible to use the robot purely in an open-source and freely available Gazebo simulation (see further details in our documentation page).
