Field Stack Robotics

Four robots, one stack. Each model adds exactly one new challenge on top of the software and electronics of the one before it. All open source, all ROS 2.

01Building now

Model 1

Indoor Robot

A solder-free first kit that matches the blog series one to one.

  • Differential drive, 2 wheels and a caster
  • Field Stack main board with IMU
  • 2D LiDAR, Raspberry Pi 5 (optional)
  • Add-on: warehouse and fleet pack

For students, researchers and teaching labs

02Next

Model 2

Outdoor Rover

A GPS-guided field platform that carries the researcher's own equipment.

  • 4-wheel skid-steer drive
  • RTK GPS, IMU, 2D/3D LiDAR
  • Weatherproof enclosure, e-stop, RC
  • As a kit or ready to run

For agricultural and field robotics labs

Model 3

Tracked Terrain Robot

A heavy-duty platform for mud, snow, sand and rough ground.

For search and rescue, construction and rough-terrain research

Model 4

Surface Vessel

A small twin-motor boat. Its kinematics are close to differential drive.

For environmental monitoring and bathymetry labs

One stack, four robots#

Nothing is thrown away between models. The motor control, odometry, EKF and navigation you build on Model 1 come with you to the rover, the tracked robot and the boat. Each new model only adds the part that is actually new: GPS and weatherproofing, then tracks and rough ground, then water.

That is also why the blog and the robots follow the same order. Every post on this site runs on Model 1 first.
