The AgileX Scout Mini is a small-footprint unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) built around four-wheel independent servo drive and double-wishbone suspension. At roughly 612 x 580 x 245 mm it fits through standard doorways and onto a benchtop, yet it climbs 30-degree slopes, handles obstacles, and transitions seamlessly between indoor floors and outdoor terrain. With a top speed near 10 km/h (2.7 m/s) and a payload of 10 kg on standard wheels, it is a capable carrier for sensors, compute, and manipulators.
RobotLAB supplies the Scout Mini to research labs, universities, and engineering teams across the United States as a ready-to-build robotics development base. It ships with an open-source SDK and CAN-bus interface, and is broadly used with C++, Python, and ROS/ROS2, so teams can prototype autonomy, SLAM, navigation, and multi-sensor perception without building a chassis from scratch. Aluminum T-slot rails along the top deck let you bolt down LiDAR, depth cameras, IMUs, GPS, or custom payloads.
As a reseller and integrator, RobotLAB pairs the Scout Mini with purchase, lease, and Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) options, plus deployment, training, and nationwide service. That means a team can get a platform configured, supported, and in the field quickly, rather than sourcing parts and integrating mobility, power, and software on their own.

Universities and R&D groups use the Scout Mini as a mobile base for SLAM, path planning, multi-sensor fusion, and autonomous navigation experiments. Its open SDK, CAN-bus control, and ROS/ROS2 compatibility make it a standard teaching and research platform for higher education and corporate labs.
Equipped with cameras, LiDAR, or thermal sensors on its T-slot deck, the Scout Mini patrols facilities, perimeters, and equipment for monitoring and inspection tasks. Its 30-degree climb ability and indoor/outdoor capability suit it to mixed environments around manufacturing plants and large offices.
Engineering teams mount custom payloads, manipulators, or compute stacks to validate new perception and control hardware in motion. The 10 kg standard payload and modular rail system let teams iterate on real-world testbeds before committing to a larger platform.

Same-day response. We handle delivery, on-site setup, staff training, and ongoing service nationwide.
It is a compact 4-wheel-drive UGV platform used as a base for robotics research, autonomy and SLAM development, sensor prototyping, and indoor/outdoor inspection. Teams mount LiDAR, cameras, compute, or manipulators on its T-slot deck and program it with C++, Python, or ROS/ROS2. To discuss your application, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
RobotLAB lists the Scout Mini at $4,500 for direct purchase. We also offer lease and Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) options so you can spread the cost and bundle in support. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for current lease and RaaS pricing.
It carries 10 kg on standard wheels and up to 20 kg with the Mecanum wheel kit, with a higher short-distance capacity. That is enough for typical sensor suites, onboard compute, and light manipulators. For payload integration help, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
Yes. The Scout Mini transitions between indoor and outdoor environments, climbs 30-degree slopes, and has 115 mm of ground clearance. Note its IP22 rating means it is not designed for heavy rain or full weather sealing, so plan deployments accordingly. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm fit for your site.
Yes. The Scout Mini ships with an open-source SDK and CAN-bus control and is widely used with ROS and ROS2, making it a common platform in higher-education robotics courses and research labs. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for academic and volume options.
The Scout Mini is smaller, lighter, and lower cost, ideal for benchtop and tight-space work, while the Scout 2.0 is a larger 4WD platform with much higher payload (around 50 kg class) for heavier outdoor tasks. RobotLAB can help you size the right one; call 1-87-RobotLAB.
Yes. As a nationwide robotics integrator, RobotLAB handles configuration, deployment, training, and ongoing service for the Scout Mini. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to arrange onboarding for your team.
