Elephant Robotics myAGV 2023 Pi (without kit) review

The quick answer

myAGV Pi is a mobile chassis for research, education and makers, with 2D mapping and navigation, myBlockly and Python programming, ROS simulation and gamepad or keyboard control.

Why we like it

Raspberry Pi 4B core with a customized Ubuntu Mate 20.04 system
2D mapping and navigation and ROS simulation
myBlockly drag-and-drop plus Python with OpenCV, QT and pymycobot
Pairs with five Elephant Robotics arms for composite robots

Before you buy

Priced at $949 for the chassis without the optional touchscreen or spare battery
Navigation and arms are features you configure, not turnkey
The listing’s 2D navigation focus means 3D navigation is a separate product

A mobile base for robotics projects

myAGV Pi pairs a Raspberry Pi 4B with a customized Ubuntu Mate 20.04 system that already includes ROS, Python, VS Code, VNC and SSH, so you spend less time configuring and more time building.

Mapping and navigation

The chassis offers 2D mapping and navigation, graphical programming, visual software and ROS simulation. Planetary brushless DC motors give it the power and accuracy that autonomous navigation needs.

Programming options

myBlockly is a drag-and-drop tool for beginners, and a Python 2/3 environment supports OpenCV, QT and pymycobot for robot control and image recognition.

Add an arm

Elephant Robotics says myAGV Pi can carry five types of its robotic arms, making it a base for composite robot demos such as warehouse sorting.
