Tangobot is a Turtlebot spin-off. It combines one of the Turtlebot's robotic bases (Yujin Robot's Kobuki) with Tango enabled devices (Tango Development Kit, Lenovo Phab 2 Pro or Asus ZenFone AR).

The Tangobot Android application brings Tango and ROS together, using tango_ros_node to provide sensor data, and ROS standard packages to drive the robotic base all in the same hardware platform.

It is available from the Google Play Store and open sourced in Github.
