The host controller adopts Jetson Nano Dev Kit, provides two version options: N-VIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit (B01) and Waveshare Jetson Nano Dev Kit. Both kits have almost the same performance and appearance, except that the Waveshare Jetson Nano Dev Kit adopts a 16GB eMMC version of the Jetson Nano Module. The Jetson Nano Dev Kit is equipped with 4GB memory and has better performance, responsible for Artificial Intelligence (AI), speech processing, visual processing, mapping and navigation, etc.
The sub-controller uses the Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core microcontroller, which has better real-time performance and higher control accuracy, and is responsible for attitude data collection and motion control.

ROS (Robot Operation System) is an open-source operating system that includes a collection of software libraries and tools for robot design. It provides the services expected of an operating system, including hardware abstraction, bottom layer device control, implementation of common functions, message transfering between processes, and package management. ROS simplifies robot design and is the mainstream robot software framework in the world.

SAFETY CAUTIONS
- Li-ion and Li-po batteries are quite unstable. They may cause fire, personal injury, or property damage, if they're not properly recharged or used.
- Do not reversely connect the polarities when recharging or discharging the battery. Do not use inferior charger/charging panel to recharge the battery.
- Do not mix use old batteries with new ones, avoid using batteries of different brands.
- When buying Lithium battery, should always make sure the battery specification is compatible with the expansion board. Choose batteries from formal manufacturer, and ensure the batteries will work stably and safely by aging test.
- Lithium batteries have limited cycle life, they will also deteriorate as time goes by. Should be replaced with new ones when the batteries reaching their max cycle life, or working over two years, whichever comes first.
- Should be placed carefully and properly, keep it away from inflammables and explosives articles, away from children, avoid any safety accident caused by careless storage.
