Introduction to Wolf Robot

UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLE

Wolf is a rugged and lightweight robot platform designed to be used as an easy-to-use unmanned ground vehicle for research and development presented by VEEROBOT®, a Siliris product.

Wolf includes a standard micro-controller board along with a motor controller to control 4 Motors. It is further extended using external controllers like a Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano depending on the user requirement. The robot is ROS 2 compatible and can be controlled either with a Joystick, or commands from a PC or Laptop.

Note: Please read the complete manual before operating the Robot. Wrong connections, incorrect wiring can lead to damage of the internal controller / motors / batteries.
