Mini-Lab tutorials

QUICK Overview

Welcome to the Mini-Lab tutorial platform. Here you will learn how to work, teach and innovate with our dedicated robot Mini-Lab.

There are two ways to use our robot efficiently:

• Through a simulated environment
• Directly on the real robot

For each part you will find some examples of use cases

Quick reminder: The Mini-Lab is a medium sized robot that offers the best trade-off between robustness and price. It is suitable for research as a test-bed for the development of indoor applications.

Feel free to create new use cases and features for the Mini-Lab !

The Mini-Lab supports fully ROS packages and naming conventions.
