TurtleBot

TurtleBot 1 consists of an iRobot Create base, a 3000 mAh battery pack, a TurtleBot power board with gyro, a Kinect sensor, an Asus 1215N laptop with a dual core processor, and a hardware mounting kit. The hardware mounting kit enables other sensors to be added afterwards.

TurtleBot 2 received numerous upgrades to its predecessor. A YUJIN Kobuki mobile serves as its base outfitted with a 2200 mAh battery. The Kinect sensor and Asus 1215N laptop are reused from the TurtleBot 1. Turtlebot 2's package included a fast charger to decrease time between deployments.

The TurtleBot 2 also features the a hardware mounting kit (similar to the previous generation) allowing for additional sensors to be added more easily as needed. The improvements to the TurtleBot 2 make it a more versatile starting point for prototyping and exploring robotics applications.

TurtleBot 3 has additional structural expansion capabilities due to the ROBOTIS’ modular structure along with the DYNAMIXEL.

[https://clearpathrobotics.com/turtlebot-4/ TurtleBot 4] is using an iRobot Create3 robot as a base with a compute and sensor package consisting of a Raspberry PI 4, a LiDAR Scanner, and a RGB-D camera.

TurtleBot 4 comes in two models – TurtleBot 4 Standard and TurtleBot 4 Lite. Both are equipped with an iRobot® Create3 mobile base, a powerful Raspberry Pi 4 running ROS 2, OAK-D spatial AI stereo camera, 2D LiDAR and more. All components have been seamlessly integrated to deliver an out-of-the-box development and learning platform.

TurtleBot has been used in multi-robot research and human robot interaction research.{{Cite book |chapter=An exclusive human-robot interaction method on the TurtleBot platform |chapter-url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6739662 |access-date=2023-12-07 |doi=10.1109/robio.2013.6739662 |title=2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO) |date=2013 |last1=Xiong |first1=Chuantang |last2=Zhang |first2=Xu |pages=1402–1407 |isbn=978-1-4799-2744-9 |s2cid=15418346 }} TurtleBot has also been used by universities teaching introductory robotics courses.{{cite web |title=University of South Carolina: CSCE574 Robotics |url=http://www.cse.sc.edu/~jokane/teaching/574/ |publisher=University of South Carolina |access-date=2017-06-10 |archive-date=2016-06-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160621020945/https://cse.sc.edu/~jokane/teaching/574/ |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |title=Johns Hopkins University: ME530707 |url=http://dscl.lcsr.jhu.edu/ME530707_2014 |publisher=Johns Hopkins University |access-date=2017-06-10 |archive-date=2017-05-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170518215027/http://dscl.lcsr.jhu.edu/ME530707_2014 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |title=School of Engineering Students Leading Robotics Research at St. Thomas |url=http://www.stthomas.edu/news/school-of-engineering-students-leading-robotics-research-at-st-thomas/ |publisher=University of St. Thomas}}
