= TurtleBot = {{attachment:turtlebot_family_new.png|TurtleBot|width=100%}} !TurtleBot is a low-cost, personal robot kit with open-source software. !TurtleBot was created at Willow Garage by Melonee Wise and Tully Foote in November 2010. With !TurtleBot, you’ll be able to build a robot that can drive around your house, see in 3D, and have enough horsepower to create exciting applications. The !TurtleBot kit consists of a mobile base, 2D/3D distance sensor, laptop computer or SBC(Single Board Computer), and the !TurtleBot mounting hardware kit. In addition to the !TurtleBot kit, users can download the !TurtleBot SDK from the ROS wiki. !TurtleBot is designed to be easy to buy, build, and assemble, using off the shelf consumer products and parts that easily can be created from standard materials. As an entry level mobile robotics platform, !TurtleBot has many of the same capabilities of the company’s larger robotics platforms, like PR2.
