iRobot - Create 3 Educational Robot

The iRobot Create 3 platform combines the knowledge of the US manufacturer iRobot from over 30 years of experience in the field of autonomous vacuum cleaner robots. The iCrate 3 platform is also the official platform of the OSRF (Open Source Robotics Foundation) and the Turtlebot4, which is built and supported by Clearpath Robotics Inc.

The Create 3 platform comes with Ethernet, WiFI, Bluetooth & USB-C support out of the box. Because of this, it can be used as a base for almost any hardware and research field with ease. The perforated top plate also allows an extremely easy mounting of additional hardware such as a computer (NVIDIA AGX, ORIN, Raspberry Pi or similar), a LiDAR (SLAMTEC 2D or Ouster 3D-LiDAR) or many other sensors & actuators. This combined with the included docking station creates an extremely powerful platform at a very affordable price.
