Canonical robot record
Overview
TurtleBot 4 Lite is the lower-cost configuration of the TurtleBot 4 open-source ROS 2 education and research platform, built by Clearpath Robotics with Open Robotics on the iRobot Create 3 mobile base. It omits the Standard model's sensor tower, OLED display and mounting plate, and uses an OAK-D-Lite camera in place of the OAK-D-Pro, reducing height to 192 mm and weight to about 3.3 kg. Core autonomy hardware is unchanged from the Standard: RPLIDAR A1M8 2D LiDAR, Raspberry Pi 4B (4 GB) and ROS 2.
