Dingo
Clearpath Dingo is a light indoor research robot, coming in two versions – with differential or omni-wheel drive. Its open architecture, a wide range of sensors and the possibility of installing a lightweight Kinova arm, make it a perfect solution for many research projects as well as education. The manufacturer has adapted this platform to work with ROS and Gazebo, making it easy to simulate, program and control.
