We’re excited to introduce the new Quanser Mobile Robotics Lab, featuring our groundbreaking QBot Platform. This achievement marks a new frontier of open and flexible research potential, and multidisciplinary skills teaching experiences.
The Quanser Mobile Robotics Lab stands as an academia’s most comprehensive turnkey mobile robotics lab offering, designed to enhance engineering education, research, and outreach in robotics. It is an immensely valuable enhancement to the already powerful Autonomous Vehicles Research Studio (AVRS), and a wonderful upgrade for users of our previous generations of QBot. This product offers a full complement of advanced sensors, a powerful NVIDIA GPU for applied AI, customizable electromechanical interfaces perfect for project-based learning, and an even more capable iteration of our open-architecture software frameworks for systems-level applications of introductory and advanced mobile robotics concepts.
Join us in advancing robotics education and research, inspiring students, and pioneering the future of this dynamic field.
