Focus on Innovation, Not Construction.
Raph Rover is a fully integrated, ROS 2-based R&D platform designed for one purpose: to drastically accelerate your work. Focus on innovation and algorithms, and leave the tedious hardware and software configuration to us.
Focus on Innovation, Not Construction
As an engineer or a scientist, your time is invaluable. Raph Rover was created to protect it.
Fully Configured ROS 2
You use an industry-standard, eliminating the need to learn proprietary systems.
Benefit for you: You don't waste weeks on tedious installations. You leverage your existing ROS skills to focus on innovative algorithms, which directly accelerates your research.
Out-of-the-Box Autonomy
The robot is capable of autonomous operation right after startup.
Benefit for you: Instead of spending weeks configuring basic navigation, you can launch autonomous environment mapping within the first hour. Your project starts at full throttle.
Modular Architecture
It allows for simple and fast integration of additional equipment.
Benefit for you: Seamlessly integrate your own 3D cameras, grippers, or sensors. The platform adapts to your project, not the other way around, giving you complete freedom.

Built for Real-World R&D
Raph Rover's durable aluminum frame and spacious mounting plate provide a robust and flexible foundation for your custom hardware. Easily accessible I/O ports and power rails mean you spend less time with a soldering iron and more time developing your application.
Integrated Perception, Ready to Go
The strategically placed 360° Lidar and front-facing 3D camera provide a comprehensive view of the environment from day one. All sensors are pre-calibrated and fully integrated within the ROS 2 ecosystem, saving you weeks of complex setup.
Key Components and Specifications
Dimensions
Hardware structure
Raph Rover's architecture is simple and transparent to give you maximum control. At the lowest level is the hardware layer (drives, sensors, battery). It is managed by out custom controller - RaphCore and UP7000 Single board computer with Ubuntu and ROS 2. You work at the highest layer, creating standard ROS nodes (in Python or C++)that implement your application's logic.
