With the advent of the quad-core, WiFi-enabled RPi 3 model, we’ve seen far more advanced, and sometimes semi-autonomous Pi-based robots, in addition to the numerous RPi-based toy designs of recent years. Like most of our entries, these models are wheeled robots built around the Raspberry Pi. Another major player here is the recently rev’d, dual-wheeled TurtleBot 3. This four-wheeled bot, which is larger and more sophisticated than typical wheeled robots like the popular, dual-wheeled GoPiGo, was designed to mimic Martian rovers.
The latest open source Linux robot to hit the scene - the Turtle Rover - won funding on Indiegogo only last week. In fact, we were forced to leave a number of worthy projects waiting in the wings.
Today, however, it’s easy to fill out a top 10 list of Linux-based terrestrial robots that are open source in both software and hardware. In addition, many of those robots were proprietary or open source only on the software side.
Back in 2014, we struggled to fill out our top 10 roundup of Linux-based robots and padded the list with conceptually similar autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
