Hadabot is a low-cost robot kit for students, software engineers, makers to learn ROS2 and robotics in a hands-on manner. Our robot kits are easy to build, extensible, and customizable. The Hadabot software stack consists of an open source web browser-based coding environment to make the hacking experience frustration-free.
Hadabot ROS2 "Turtle" robot kits are available for purchase!
For ROS World 2021, we present a novel way to control our ESP32 micro-controller Hadabot Turtle robot remotely with ROS 2 and the Navigation 2 (Nav2) stack running in the cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS) RoboMaker.
A blog which describes the architecture in detail will follow this one. In the meantime, you are welcomed to run the code yourself on a Hadabot Turtle kit (the Motor+Speed Sensor Add-On is also required for this AWS code).
- Clone our hadabot_main Git repository.
- Go follow the directions from the
hadabot_main/content/p11/README.md. It would be helpful to read through the whole README but the relevant AWS section would be under the heading With AWS RoboMaker.
Here's a video clip of the Hadabot Turtle in action!

As mentioned before, we will be following up on another blog post to dive deeper into the details of the architecture.

Also, if you are looking to learn ROS 2 in a hands-on manner with an affordable robot kit, purchase a Hadabot Turtle kit to start your robotics adventures with us!
Thanks and happy building!
