TurtleBot 3 Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB
TB 3 Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB, Raspberry Pi-Controlled Autonomous Robot
Turtlebot3 Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB is the new TB3 mobile robot with significant increases in CPU, RAM, Graphics performance compared to the old version Waffle with RPi3 (Raspberry Pi3). With Waffle Pi RPi4, you can run image processing and machine learning algorithms faster and process a large number of sensor data in parallel. The processor of the Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB is an advanced processor that supports USB 3.0 peripherals and different network connection structures, increasing the usability of the robot.
Turtlebot3 Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB is a small, open-source, modular and ROS (Robot Operating System) based mobile robot platform. It is used for education, R&D, hobby and product prototyping purposes. Turtlebot3 Waffle Pi is preferred worldwide for many studies in the fields of education and research, especially in SLAM and navigation algorithms. In addition, unlike TurtleBot3 Burger, object handling and displacement applications can be tried by attaching a manipulator to Waffle Pi.
Turtlebot3 Waffle Pi RPi4 hardware is now compatible with NVIDIA Jetson NANO and can be controlled via Jetson Nano.
Waffle Pi is a powerful robot for its size. There are minor deviations in performance values up to 20-25 kg payload values; the maximum payload is specified as 30 kg. Can be used with Gazebo simulator.
There are a number of differences between the old and discontinued version of Waffle and the new Waffle Pi versions. The TurtleBot 3 Waffle offers the Intel® Joule™ SBC microcontroller, while the Turtlebot3 Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB is built on the Raspberry Pi 4. This gives users the possibility to use Raspberry Pi-compatible modules (such as the Raspberry Pi camera that comes installed on the robot). The Waffle Pi robot can be controlled by remote control and can record video.
While the old TurtleBot 3 Waffle came with 2 Dynamixel servos with RS-485 interface, the new Waffle Pi4 servos can be controlled via TTL interface.
Robotis' programmable robot includes a Raspberry Pi4 that can run ROS and Ubuntu on it. It has software that runs on Apache 2.0 and is completely Open Source. Another interesting feature is that it is possible to 3D print the robot elements or buy them ready for assembly. TB3 Waffle runs on Ubuntu Linux (13.04.2 LTS) and the latest versions of ROS (Kinetic). Besides using ROS to control the robot, you can also program additional behaviors on the robot using C/C+ functions and Arduino libraries.

Layered Structure of TurtleBot 3 Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB Mobile Robot
All the sensors Robotis offers also work on the Waffle Pi RPi4: motion, temperature, color, contact sensors... Unlike the previous version, TB3 Waffle Pi RPi4 features LDS-2 instead of LDS-1 (Laser Distance Sensor). The LDS-2 stands out for its superior performance (detection distance, accuracy and sampling rate) in SLAM and navigation applications and communicates via the TX UART port.
The structure of the TurtleBot3 Waffle Pi robot is fully modular. Both TurtleBot3 models (Burger and Waffle Pi) have a 2D lidar that allows you to implement SLAM (simultaneous mapping and localization) and autonomous navigation algorithms and are basically controlled via Raspberry Pi.
o The first layer contains the Dynamixel XM430 servos and battery.
o The second layer contains components such as the basic OpenCR controller, Raspberry Pi camera, Turtlebot3 Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB SBC board and bluetooth module.
o The top layer contains the 360-degree leader of the Waffle Pi.
Turtlebot3 Waffle Pi RPi4 2GB can take 2 to 4 hours to fully assemble.
