However, the end result is quite remarkable, providing a very flexible fixture in terms of programmability and autonomous operation.
The arm can lift 250 grams and has a reach of just over 30 centimeters. The base is easily maneuverable thanks to its independently driven Mecanum wheels, each consisting of a series of rollers held at 45 ° both on the wheel plane and on the axis line, so that the robot can roll sideways, back and forth. The 5MP camera and 360 ° LIDAR sensor allow you to orient yourself and recognize objects.

You can connect it directly to a keyboard, mouse and HDMI monitor or configure it for access via VNC. For enthusiasts with a good budget and a lot of will, myAGV will offer many hours of fun and extreme satisfaction.
