Viam Rover

There are two ways to get hands on a Viam Rover:

• Rent one in our robotics lab. Reserve a rover, drive it remotely for 10 minutes, and try the Viam platform with no hardware setup.
• Order your own for use in your own projects. The Viam Rover 2 arrives preassembled and is ready to configure with Viam.

The Viam Rover 2 arrives preassembled with two encoded motors with suspension, a webcam with a microphone unit, a 6 axis IMU, power management and more. It is primarily designed for use with a Raspberry Pi 4. Featuring an anodized aluminum chassis with expandable mounting features, the rover can comfortably navigate indoor environments with a 20 lb payload. You can customize your rover by mounting sensors, depth cameras and LiDAR, and arms.

Important

If you order your own Viam Rover, you must purchase the following hardware separately:

• A Raspberry Pi 4
• Four 18650 batteries or RC-type battery (with charger)
• A MicroSD card and an adapter/reader
