HeRo: An Open Platform for Robotics Research and Education

In this project, we present HeRo, a novel small and capable platform for robotic research and education. Specially designed for swarm experimentation, which requires a large set of simpler robots, HeRo is a very low-cost alternative to other types of robotic platforms, without removing most capabilities and sensor abilities of commonly used or commercial platforms. HeRo is deeply integrated with the most used robotic framework available today, ROS.
