Abstract

OpenScout is an Open Source Hardware (OSH) mobile robot for research and industry. It is extended to v1.1 which includes simplified, cheaper and more powerful onboard compute hardware; a simulated ROS2 interface; and a Gazebo simulation. Changes, their rationale, project methodology, and results are reported as an OSH case study.
