FAQ
What is the difference between the two D1 product pages?
This page is the regional purchase path shown in the product title. Use the Euro Only page for Europe and the Except Europe page for non-European regions.
Can D1 be used for ROS 2 development?
Yes. D1 is built around Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS 2, so research teams can develop navigation, perception, and secondary development workflows on the platform.
What does the Single or Double option mean?
Single and Double are the purchase variants shown on this product page. Choose Single for one D1 platform and Double when the project needs two units for parallel testing or collaboration.
What terrain should D1 be evaluated on?
D1 is designed for multi-locomotion testing. The documented maximum obstacle is 70 cm, while 50 cm is the recommended operating obstacle for safer evaluation.
