Wifibot
French maker of small open-source 4WD mobile robot platforms for R&D and AI education; ROS1/ROS2 compatible, supports NVIDIA Jetson and Raspberry Pi.
Wifibot is a French company specializing in compact, open wireless robotic platforms for research, education, and IP-based surveillance since 2003. Its flagship product, the Wifibot Lab, is a four-wheel-drive mobile chassis built around embedded Ethernet and Wi-Fi, designed to give students and researchers an affordable, fully open platform for developing robotics and artificial intelligence applications. The company supports a range of onboard computing options, including Raspberry Pi 3/4, NVIDIA Jetson Nano, TX2, Xavier AGX/NX, and Intel Core i5 single-board computers, making it compatible with modern AI and computer vision workflows.
Wifibot platforms have been adopted in academic settings across Europe, where they have been used to teach control algorithms and allow students to conduct lab experiments remotely through internet-connected robot access. Published research describes distributed control architectures built on top of the Wifibot hardware, demonstrating its suitability as a testbed for networked robotics experiments. The platform's open architecture allows users to integrate custom sensors, modify the software stack, and adapt the robot to a wide variety of experimental scenarios without proprietary constraints.
The Wifibot Lab supports both indoor and outdoor use cases and ships with a Wi-Fi access point and DC power supply as standard. Its modular design philosophy makes it equally useful for undergraduate robotics courses and for university research groups prototyping autonomous navigation or multi-robot coordination systems. By keeping the hardware affordable and the software stack open, Wifibot has established itself as a practical entry point into mobile robotics for educational institutions and independent developers alike.
