During approximately 4 hours of normal driving, the estimated maximum obstacle size is 70 millimeters. In real-time video streaming, you can connect to Leo Rover up to 100 meters away. Its camera has a resolution of 5 MPx and uses a fisheye lens with a 160 degree field of view.

By default, Leo Rover can be remotely controlled through video streaming and a readily available UI. It is not autonomous, but it is ready to be autonomous. This software is based on Ubuntu 20.04 and the Robot Operating System (ROS), which is known for its ease of implementing autonomous and semi autonomous functions.

The simplest method is to add a LiDAR or stereo vision camera to enhance Rover's autonomous navigation capabilities, and then build your features on top of that. The Rover itself comes with a front facing camera and 4 wheel encoders, so it provides out of the box video streaming and basic odometer.
