With changes in the widespread availability of the Create3 in 2024, we would like to assure the TurtleBot 4 community that we remain committed to supporting the platform.
Robin Lefler, General Manager of Clearpath Robotics, says, “TurtleBot has long been a critical stepping stone for our academic customers and provides a robust and compact platform for developers. Clearpath recognizes the importance of continuing to produce and support the TurtleBot 4 and is dedicated to doing so.”
“The TurtleBot is a core part of Open Robotics’ mission to expand the reach of open source software, particularly ROS, in robotics,” says Vanessa Yamzon Orsi, CEO of Open Robotics. “As the first TurtleBot to support ROS 2, the newest version of our flagship software, we are grateful to Clearpath for their continued effort to distribute the TurtleBot 4 in support of our mission.”
