Back to Catalogue

The QBot Platform from Quanser is an advanced autonomous ground robot designed for teaching mobile robotics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Built on a robust differential drive mobile platform, the QBot is powered by an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano computer and features a suite of sensors, including LiDAR, Intel RealSense camera, and a 6-axis IMU. Its open architecture design and comprehensive courseware make it an ideal solution for educators and researchers.

Learning Outcomes

With the QBot Platform, learners can explore essential robotics topics such as:

  • Forward and inverse differential kinematics
  • Dead reckoning
  • Path planning
  • 2D mapping
  • Obstacle Avoidance
  • Machine learning

This system prepares students to develop practical applications for autonomy, navigation, and control. Through hands-on projects, students will build skills such as configuring the robot’s sensors, implementing multi-agent control, and using MATLAB, Simulink, Python, and ROS for deployment.
