Tutorial Overview

Advantech Robotic Suite provides a structured learning path for building robotic applications — from core ROS 2 concepts to full system integration and real-world use cases.

This page serves as a quick map to all tutorials, including ROS basics, robotics fundamentals, mobility solutions, and sample applications.

ROS2​

Advantech Robotic Suite integrates a ROS 2-based environment with commonly used development and visualization tools.

This section introduces essential ROS concepts and utilities, including:

  • RViz (visualization)

  • Domain ID (network isolation)

  • rqt_graph (node/topic relationships)

  • Gazebo (simulation)

Robotics Fundamentals​

This section introduces the core software pipeline of a robotic system — how a robot processes information and makes decisions.

  • Sensing
    Acquiring raw data from sensors (LiDAR, camera, IMU, etc.)

  • Perception
    Converting sensor data into structured and meaningful information (e.g., SLAM, object detection)

  • Planning
    Generating decisions and motion strategies based on perception results (e.g., Nav2, path planning)

  • Action
    Executing planned actions on physical systems (e.g., AMR, robotic arm, drone)

These four stages form a complete robotics pipeline:

  • Sensing → Perception → Planning → Action

Mobility​

This section focuses on practical robot system configurations, showing how different sensing technologies enable autonomous mobility in real-world scenarios.

Available topics include:

  • 2D LiDAR Mobility
    Mapping and navigation using 2D LiDAR; widely used in indoor AMR

  • 3D LiDAR Mobility
    High-precision environment perception for complex scenarios

  • 3D Camera Mobility
    Navigation using depth cameras (RGB-D / stereo vision)

  • Mobility Vision
    Multi-sensor perception and AI-based environment understanding

  • Vendor Samples & Ecosystems
    Pre-integrated development environments for rapid prototyping

Robotics focuses on how a robot thinks, while Mobility defines how a robot senses and moves.

Add-on SDK​

The Advantech Robotic Suite provides add-on services in container such as SUSI, Industry protocols ( Modbus and OPCUA ), ros2 database and DeviceOn ( remote central management )

Use Case​

Here’s a real-world example of using the Advantech Robotic Suite with the ASR-A701DVK development kit:

  • Robotic Development with ASR-A701DVK
    This article from MakerPRO shares a hands-on unboxing and introduction to the ASR-A701DVK development kit, along with an overview of building robotic applications using Advantech Robotic Suite.
    It highlights how developers can quickly get started with a pre-integrated environment, including ROS 2, and ready-to-use examples.
