Powered by ROS

Olive™ IMU has built-in ROS capabilities. The Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open-source framework that enables developers to easily create, manage, and integrate robot hardware components. It is widely used in the robotics industry, and is considered a crucial tool for anyone working in the field of robotics. ROS provides a common set of tools and libraries that can be used to develop and control robot hardware, making it possible for hardware components from different manufacturers to work together seamlessly. This is particularly important for the development of modular robots, which are composed of multiple interchangeable parts. At Olive Robotics, we use ROS and ROS 2 to develop and control our robot hardware components, enabling us to create advanced, modular robots that are easy to program and customize.

Pay-per-use. Or own yours.
Simplifying accessibility

Most robotic engineers and robotic companies end up accumulating robot hardware that never gets reused.

The olive™ IMU offers not only the option to purchase it outright, but also the flexibility to rent it on a monthly basis. This can be especially beneficial for robotic engineers, companies, researchers or educators that may not need the olive™ IMU on a continuous basis or want to avoid accumulating unnecessary hardware. We have created the option to rent the device on a pay-per-use basis. This allows you to have access to high-quality, software-defined modular hardware without breaking the bank or cluttering up your workspace with unnecessary equipment.

So, whether you need the olive™ IMU for a short-term project or want to use it on an ongoing basis, we have a solution that will work for you.
