AutomatePro from Lemvos is a weather-protected all-in-one controller for outdoor robotics and automation based on the ROS 2 platform. The device combines a computing unit, sensors, communication interfaces and a robust housing with IP67 protection in one compact system. It is designed to simplify the construction of complex robot control systems by providing several components in an integrated manner.

AutomatePro supports direct integration into ROS 2-based applications and provides pre-installed drivers for RTK-GNSS with heading function, a 9-axis IMU as well as digital and analogue interfaces. A wide range of sensors, cameras and motor controllers can be connected via the available communication options such as mobile radio (5G/4G), WLAN, Bluetooth, RS485, CAN FD and Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, a breakout board facilitates prototype development, while weatherproof cabling is available for practical use. Another component is the precise GNSS RTK positioning with differentiated heading, which is useful in environments where magnetic sensors are unreliable.
