Tracer

Modular mobile robot chassis for research, logistics, and custom integration

Overview

The AgileX Tracer is a compact, two-wheel differential-drive chassis suitable for indoor logistics and robotics development. Its modular design includes mounting rails and standard communication interfaces for integrating sensors and computing. It functions as a wire-controlled platform for autonomous navigation and perception.

Where it performs

  • High payload capacity of 100 kg supports heavy sensor configurations.
  • Open hardware design with mounting rails simplifies sensor integration.
  • Extensive ROS compatibility streamlines development and programming efforts.

What to check before buying

  • Default IP22 rating offers limited protection against dust and water ingress.
  • Typical real-world battery life may be shorter than manufacturer specifications.
  • Low chassis height of 155 mm may limit under-robot sensor options.
