Prototyping Platform for Mobile Robots

09/16/2025

This demonstration AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is built on innovative Bosch Rexroth technology and showcases how to create a mobile robot quickly and easily. The prototyping platform serves as a test and development foundation to highlight the wide range of applications and individual advantages of our component portfolio, from the tailored use of individual modules to the integration of a comprehensive solution. Open, adaptable, and future-ready: Perfect for both beginners and advanced developers of mobile robotics.



Key Features & Benefits

  • Modular and compatible: Flexibly combine products individually with third-party components, integrate them step by step or use everything from a single source from Bosch Rexroth. Maximum flexibility for your projects!

  • Simple assembly: The chassis is based on the Bosch Rexroth aluminum profile modular system and is supplemented by preconfigured software and hardware - quickly ready for use to meet your requirements. 

  • Powerful control system: The powerful ctrlX CORE with the open operating system ctrlX OS and ctrlX SAFETY with FSoE (Fail Safe over EtherCAT) for maximum safety takes over the central control.  

  • Precise navigation: Seamlessly manage the AGV with the localization software ROKIT Locator for markerless orientation and future-ready navigation software ROKIT Navigator, built on VDA 5050 standards, for route and job planning.

  • Future-proof and open: The integration options of custom or third-party apps into the ctrlX Data Layer showcases the platform’s incredible flexibility and adaptability.

  • Efficient drive solution: The safety-certified wheel drive unit ROKIT Motor ensures precise and safe movement thanks to FSoE and integrates seamlessly with ctrlX MOTION.
