Overview
What is the AgileX Limo ROS2 Rover?
The AgileX LIMO ROS2 Rover is a compact, four-wheel mobile robot purpose-built for teaching and researching autonomous navigation. What sets it apart is its ability to switch between four steering modes on a single chassis — four-wheel differential, Ackermann (car-like) steering, tracked mode, and omnidirectional — so a single platform can model the kinematics of nearly any wheeled or tracked vehicle. It ships pre-loaded with Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2 Humble, along with demos for SLAM mapping, path planning, obstacle avoidance, and navigation, so students and researchers can run meaningful experiments on day one rather than spending weeks on setup.
The ROS2 variant is the upgraded sibling of the standard LIMO. It runs on an Intel NUC i7 compute unit (rather than the base model's Jetson Nano), carries an EAI T-mini Pro LiDAR and an Orbbec Dabai stereo depth camera, and doubles the battery to 10,000mAh for roughly 60 minutes of continuous operation. At 322 x 220 x 251mm and 4.2kg, it is small enough to run on a lab bench or classroom floor while still carrying a real sensor suite capable of precise mapping, autonomous localization, and dynamic obstacle avoidance.
RobotLAB supplies the LIMO ROS2 to universities, community colleges, and STEM programs across the U.S. as a complete, ready-to-teach package. As a full-service integrator, we handle procurement, deployment guidance, curriculum alignment, training, and ongoing support — so your faculty and students spend their time on robotics, not on logistics.

How it works
AgileX Limo ROS2 Rover in detail
University and college robotics research
The LIMO ROS2 is a low-cost entry point for autonomous-navigation research labs. With ROS 2 Humble, a LiDAR, and a depth camera on board, graduate and undergraduate researchers can prototype SLAM, multi-robot coordination, and path-planning algorithms on real hardware without committing to a large, expensive platform. Its small footprint means a single lab can run a fleet of them in the space one full-size rover would occupy.
Higher-ed and community-college teaching labs
Because one chassis switches between differential, Ackermann, tracked, and omnidirectional steering, instructors can cover the full range of mobile-robot kinematics with a single device. Pre-installed demos for mapping, navigation, and obstacle avoidance give students hands-on ROS 2 experience that maps directly onto industry skills, making it a strong fit for engineering and computer-science curricula.
STEM and advanced K-12 / special-education programs
For advanced high-school robotics tracks and capstone programs, the LIMO ROS2 bridges the gap between block-based educational robots and professional research platforms. RobotLAB pairs the hardware with curriculum support and training so educators can introduce real ROS 2, SLAM, and autonomous-driving concepts in a safe, classroom-scale form factor.

Questions & answers
About the AgileX Limo ROS2 Rover.
-
What is the difference between the LIMO ROS2 and the standard LIMO?
The ROS2 variant upgrades the compute from the standard LIMO's NVIDIA Jetson Nano to an Intel NUC i7, runs ROS 2 Humble on Ubuntu 22.04 instead of the older stack, uses the higher-grade EAI T-mini Pro LiDAR, and doubles the battery to 10,000mAh for roughly 60 minutes of runtime. If you want guidance choosing between the two, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
What can the LIMO ROS2 actually do out of the box?
It ships pre-loaded with ROS 2 Humble and demos for SLAM mapping, autonomous localization, path planning, navigation, and obstacle avoidance, so students can run real experiments immediately. Its LiDAR and depth camera support precise mapping and dynamic obstacle avoidance without additional hardware.
-
What are the four steering modes and why do they matter?
The LIMO switches between four-wheel differential, Ackermann (car-like) steering, tracked mode, and omnidirectional driving on a single chassis. That lets one robot model the kinematics of nearly any wheeled or tracked vehicle, which is ideal for teaching the full breadth of mobile-robotics concepts on one platform.
-
Is the LIMO ROS2 suitable for high-school or only university programs?
It fits both. Universities and community colleges use it for autonomous-navigation research and engineering courses, while advanced high-school STEM and capstone programs use it to introduce real ROS 2 and SLAM. RobotLAB can help you match it to your grade level and curriculum — call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
Does RobotLAB provide training and support with the LIMO ROS2?
Yes. As a full-service robotics integrator, RobotLAB handles procurement, deployment guidance, curriculum alignment, training, and ongoing support nationwide. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to discuss a package for your school or lab.
-
Can I buy multiple units for a classroom fleet, or lease instead of buy?
The LIMO ROS2 is small enough that a single lab can run several units at once, and RobotLAB supports fleet purchases as well as leasing and subscription options for eligible institutions. Contact us at 1-87-RobotLAB for volume and financing details.
-
How long does the battery last on a charge?
The 10,000mAh battery provides approximately 60 minutes of continuous operation. For longer lab sessions, programs typically keep a spare battery on hand; call 1-87-RobotLAB for accessory and spare-part options.
