O2D R5 4WD Robot
Description
The O2D R5 is an open modular autonomous robotic platform developed by Telemetry Balkan doo Beograd for robotics research, AI applications, autonomous navigation, and educational projects.
The platform combines a compact four-wheel-drive mechanical design with onboard AI-capable computing, depth perception, lidar-based mapping, and a fully containerized software stack. O2D R5 is designed to be accessible for makers, researchers, students, and robotics developers who want a capable mobile robot that can be assembled, modified, and extended.
Key features of the O2D R5 include:
- 4WD differential drive platform with encoder-equipped motors
- Raspberry Pi 5 onboard computer
- RP2040-based low-level motor and sensor controller
- Intel RealSense D435 depth camera integration
- LDLidar D500 lidar integration
- Custom O2D R5 Main Board for power management and motor control
- Docker-based software deployment
- Ubuntu 24.04 support
- ORB Robot Control Software with web interface
- Modular 3D-printable body design
- LiFePO4 battery-powered architecture with Smart BMS support
The robot is suitable for:
- Autonomous navigation experiments
- SLAM and mapping
- AI and computer vision applications
- ROS2-based robotics development
- Indoor delivery and service robotics
- Educational robotics
- Research and prototyping
All major structural components of the platform are 3D printable, allowing users to manufacture, customize, and improve the robot according to their own requirements.
The O2D R5 project is continuously evolving, and the Telemetry Balkan team welcomes community contributions, modifications, and experimental applications built on top of the platform.
The robot is available as an Open Source hardware on ThingVerse along with the assembly instructions and setup manual.
It can also be purchased in assembled and tested state on Telemetry Balkan doo Website O2D R5 product page:
