AutomatePro Introduction

AutomatePro

All-In-One Outdoor Robotics Controller

AutomatePro is a powerful and adaptable autonomy kit built on ROS2, designed specifically for outdoor robotics and automation tasks. It integrates numerous essential systems into a single solution, including extensive I/O, powerful computing capabilities (with ML and AI accelerators), an integrated IMU and RTK GNSS, and a durable IP67-rated housing. Additionally, it features various data interfaces, wireless communication options (4G, 5G, WiFi), a wide voltage supply range, and pre-configured software tools to seamlessly integrate all these systems.

AutomatePro Controller
Preconfigured ROS2 with Extensive Sensor and IO Integration

The AutomatePro includes ready-to-use ROS 2 integration for onboard sensors and systems such as RTK GNSS (with heading support), a 9-axis IMU, voltage and current monitoring, and digital and analog I/O.

Pre-configured ROS 2 drivers make these interfaces immediately available through standard topics, reducing setup time and simplifying development. This allows teams to focus more on application design while relying on a consistent software foundation for outdoor robotics.

Foxglove Studio Extension
AutomatePro offers a Foxglove Studio extension that provides an easy way to test all onboard sensors and I/O control
Development Breakout Board
AutomatePro’s attachable breakout board with terminal blocks streamlines your prototyping process
GMSL2 Cameras & Antennas
The AutomatePro offers GMSL2 camera and driver communication for seamless integration.
Seamless progression from concept to deployment.

Its development breakout board features clearly labeled terminal blocks, making it easy to test and iterate during the design phase. The board connects directly to the standard AutomatePro unit, and once development is complete, a custom wire harness can be built to interface with the same system—providing a robust IP67-rated, waterproof solution.
