ROS Robot Operating System
Global Popular Robotic Communication Framework
ROS is an open-source meta operating system for robots. It provides some basic services, such as hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly used functionality, message-passing between processes, and package management. And it also offers the tools and library functions needed to obtain, compile, write, and run code across computers. It aims at providing code reuse support for robotics research and development.
Gazebo Simulation
JetHexa is built on the Robot Operating System (ROS) and integrates with Gazebo simulation. This enables effortless control of the robot in a simulated environment, facilitating algorithm prevalidation to prevent potential errors. Gazebo provides visual data, allowing you to observe the motion trajectories of each endpoint and center. This visual feedback facilitates algorithm enhancement.
Body Simulation Control
Through robot simulation control, algorithm verification of mapping navigation can be carried out to improve the iteration speed of the algorithm and reduce the cost of trial and error.

Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
Hi, Is it come with EU plug (france) if I bought this product ? Is it come fully assembled ? Thank you
Yes, we will provide an EU adapter, and the robot has been assembled
-
can I confirm Hiwonder JetHexa ROS Hexapod Robot Kit Powered by Jetson Nano with Lidar Depth Camera Support SLAM Mapping and Navigation come in assembled version with software installed?
Yes, it is assembled and with software installed.
-
I just bought my JetHexa from Amazon, and I love it! If I buy a 5V 4A power supply, can I connect that directly to the Jetson Nano board and keep the robot switch off? I am trying to find a way to keep the Nano board on for longer than one hour before recharge so that I can learn the programming. Thank you for your help!
Yes, you can program in this way, but cannot control the robot
-
Is the power supply that is required a standard DC supply or is it a LIPO Charger? What voltage and current range work on the input ?
LiPo battery. The working voltage is u00a09-12.6V
-
Is the seriously underpowered Jetson Nano the only controller choice? I would understand a significantly higher cost for a Jetson Orin NX with ROS2. Any time soon for a more modern controller?
Hi there, Jetson nano B01 can meet the requirement of JetHexa very well. You can refer to the tutorials
-
Is the Jetson Nano really a powerful enough controller for this? Most of the kits I've seen come with options for a much better Xavier or Orin board at a higher price. Can this bot be upgraded to say a Jason Orin NX controller and ROS2?
Yes, Jetson Nano can provide powerful computing power for JetHexa to implement various functions. You can upgrade it to Jason Orin NX controller and ROS2 by yourself!
