FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger cost? +

The ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger price is publicly listed by ROBOTIS regional stores, with a current US 4 GB Burger kit shown at approximately US$783.50 before shipping and taxes. Prices vary by Raspberry Pi memory, LiDAR generation, region, stock, distributor and whether the kit is assembled or supplied with optional accessories. The final cost can change with country, configuration, accessories, installation, training, service coverage, shipping, taxes and any application-specific equipment.

Buyers should therefore compare the complete delivered and deployable package rather than a headline number. For universities, robotics laboratories, developers, advanced schools and research organisations, the important questions are what is included, what must be purchased separately, who is responsible for commissioning and who provides support after installation.

Confirm the exact bill of materials because TurtleBot3 components have changed over time and a lower-priced listing may use an older computer, LiDAR or incomplete kit. Ask the seller to separate capital hardware, recurring software, consumables, optional tools, freight, site work, training and annual service so proposals can be compared on the same basis. Also confirm the quotation currency, validity period, payment milestones, estimated lead time and whether taxes or import charges are excluded.

You can request a ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger quote through Anton Robots to compare 2 GB or 4 GB computing configuration, current LiDAR model, included Raspberry Pi, battery, charger, regional power accessories, spares, training and technical support before making a purchasing decision.

Where can I buy the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger? +

You can buy, source or request the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger through Anton Robots, depending on the product’s current commercial status and your region. Anton Robots helps buyers compare suppliers, confirm availability, understand the proposed package and decide whether the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger fits the intended use case. TurtleBot3 Burger is sold through ROBOTIS and authorised robotics or education distributors in multiple regions. Not every offer is equivalent: one proposal may cover only the core system, while another may include application hardware, software, installation, training, warranty handling, spare parts and ongoing service.

Before committing, confirm the exact model or generation, included components, delivery destination, regulatory or site requirements, commissioning responsibilities and support route. This is especially important for universities, robotics laboratories, developers, advanced schools and research organisations. Ask whether the seller is authorised for the destination market, whether the warranty remains valid there and who will perform installation or repairs. Obtain an itemised written proposal rather than relying on a marketplace title, product photograph or verbal promise.

To begin, request a ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger quote and Anton Robots can help compare the complete purchase or deployment package.

Where can I find a ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger for sale? +

You can look for the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger for sale through the manufacturer, authorised regional partners, specialist suppliers and robot marketplaces such as Anton Robots. Burger remains an active TurtleBot3 model, although specific 2 GB or 4 GB variants can move in and out of stock. Finding a listing is only the first step. The safer comparison is the total delivered and operational cost, including the exact generation, hardware configuration, software access, required accessories, freight, installation, training, warranty, service and any local compliance work. A low advertised figure may exclude equipment that is essential for the intended workflow.

For universities, robotics laboratories, developers, advanced schools and research organisations, supplier capability and post-sale support can matter as much as the system itself. Where used, refurbished or old-stock equipment is involved, request the serial number, manufacturing date, maintenance history, software status, ownership documentation and written confirmation that parts and service remain available. Do not assume that a historic product page means the same configuration is still manufactured or supported.

If you are looking for a ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger for sale, contact Anton Robots before ordering so the current commercial status and package can be checked.

Can I get a quote for the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger? +

Yes. You can get a quote for the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger through Anton Robots. A useful quote should show more than the base equipment price. It should identify the exact system version, included hardware, software or licences, accessories, installation assumptions, training, freight, warranty, expected lead time and service coverage. For this product, the quote should specifically address 2 GB or 4 GB computing configuration, current LiDAR model, included Raspberry Pi, battery, charger, regional power accessories, spares, training and technical support.

This matters because two proposals carrying the same product name can represent very different deployable solutions. Before requesting pricing, define the application, country, site, expected usage, integration needs and required support level. Include any deadline, facility constraints, user numbers, required documentation and acceptance criteria. Ask the supplier to list exclusions and optional items separately and to state what must be supplied by the buyer or a third-party integrator.

Anton Robots can help compare the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger with other education and research robots and prepare a request based on the real project rather than an incomplete base configuration.

What is included when you buy the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger? +

A typical ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger package may include the core system and the standard components listed for the selected configuration, but the exact scope varies by seller, region and project. Before buying, request an itemised packing and services list. Confirm whether the proposal includes:

  • TurtleBot3 Burger chassis and plates
  • Raspberry Pi onboard computer
  • OpenCR control board
  • DYNAMIXEL XL430 wheel actuators
  • 360-degree LiDAR sensor
  • Rechargeable battery and charger
  • Cables, fasteners and assembly hardware
  • ROS software, documentation and examples

ROBOTIS has transitioned current kits to newer LiDAR hardware over time, so the quote should name the exact sensor and Raspberry Pi version rather than relying on an old product photo.

This matters because the robot or platform may be only one part of the working solution. Software, tools, consumables, site preparation, integration, validation and support may be separate. Ask which components are required for basic operation, which are application-specific, which are consumable, and which carry their own warranty or licence. The proposal should also identify quantities, model numbers, software terms, documentation, installation responsibility and anything shown in demonstrations but excluded from the standard package.

You can request an itemised ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger package quote through Anton Robots before purchase.

Can the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger be shipped internationally? +

The ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger may be supplied internationally, but shipment and deployment depend on the manufacturer or partner network, destination country, product status, transport restrictions and local requirements. The kit can normally be shipped internationally through regional distributors, subject to battery, customs, tax and stock restrictions.

Buyers should confirm whether freight, insurance, customs clearance, import duties, taxes, site delivery, installation and commissioning are included or charged separately. For complex systems, delivery may involve multiple crates, specialist handling, site preparation or an installation team rather than ordinary parcel shipping. Also check packaging dimensions, battery or hazardous-goods rules, electrical standards, language documentation, import permits and responsibility for damage in transit. A delivered unit may still be unusable until software, calibration, networking, training or formal acceptance is complete. Do not compare only the factory or advertised price.

If the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger is needed outside the seller’s home market, request an international or regional quote through Anton Robots so availability and landed project costs can be checked.

Is the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger in stock and how long does delivery take? +

ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger availability and delivery time can change by country, system generation, configuration, production capacity, partner coverage and project requirements. Active support resumed and the platform has maintained ROS 2 documentation, but memory variants and regional bundles may have different stock status. A website page, brochure or historic listing does not by itself prove that a new unit is immediately orderable.

Before planning a launch, course, clinical programme or operational deployment, ask whether the quoted system is new, current-generation, refurbished, demonstration stock, legacy stock or supplied as part of a managed project. Also confirm expected manufacturing, shipping, installation and acceptance timelines. Request the availability statement in writing and distinguish stock on hand from a supplier estimate, factory allocation or unit that has not yet been configured. Accessories, software licences, specialist staff, regulatory paperwork or site works can create a longer critical path than the hardware itself. Build contingency into any public opening, semester, procedure launch or production deadline.

You can request current ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger availability through Anton Robots before committing to a deadline.

What warranty and support should I check before buying the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger? +

Before buying the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger, confirm the warranty period, covered components, exclusions, service-response process, preventive-maintenance requirements, software support and spare-parts availability. Check coverage for the Raspberry Pi, LiDAR, OpenCR, DYNAMIXEL actuators, battery and assembly parts, plus the seller’s technical-support scope. Ask who provides first-line support, whether technicians are available in your region, how faults are diagnosed, what happens if a critical component fails and whether operator or technical training is included.

For professional, educational, clinical or industrial use, support should be evaluated as part of the product rather than as an afterthought. Request service hours, response targets, remote-support terms, travel charges, loan-unit or replacement policy, update entitlement and expected parts lead times. A lower purchase price can be a poor trade if local service, updates or replacement parts are unavailable.

Contact Anton Robots to review warranty and support terms within the proposed package.

Is the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger worth buying? +

The ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger can be worth buying when its capabilities, commercial status and support model match the intended application. It is one of the most established compact ROS teaching and prototyping platforms, with open documentation, simulation and modular hardware.

However, it is not automatically the right choice for every buyer. Its small size, approximately 2.5-hour nominal runtime, limited outdoor suitability and research-grade integration make it unsuitable as a turnkey industrial AMR. The decision should consider workflow fit, required accessories, integration effort, safety or regulatory obligations, training, service access and total lifecycle cost. For universities, robotics laboratories, developers, advanced schools and research organisations, a technically suitable system with clear support is usually more valuable than the lowest initial price.

Compare the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger with other education and research robots and request project-specific advice through Anton Robots before buying.

What are the main TurtleBot3 Burger specifications? +

The Burger is approximately 138 × 178 × 192 mm, weighs about 1 kg and has a listed maximum translational speed of 0.22 m/s. ROBOTIS lists a maximum payload of 15 kg and a nominal operating time of around two hours and thirty minutes, but payload and runtime figures should be interpreted carefully for research use. The robot includes two DYNAMIXEL wheel actuators, OpenCR, Raspberry Pi and a 360-degree LiDAR. Real performance changes with surface, battery health, computing load, added sensors, acceleration and software.

Before buying the ROBOTIS TurtleBot3 Burger, check the current hardware revision, software support, regional stock and complete packing list. Education robots can retain the same name while computers, sensors or accessories change between production batches.

Does TurtleBot3 Burger support ROS 2? +

Yes. TurtleBot3 is actively documented for ROS 2 distributions including Humble and Jazzy, with setup, simulation, SLAM and Navigation2 guidance in the ROBOTIS e-manual. Users must match Ubuntu, ROS distribution, packages, firmware and examples correctly. Old tutorials written for ROS 1 or earlier Raspberry Pi images may not apply to a current kit.

Before a class or project, standardise the software image and test every robot. The platform is open and well documented, but ROS setup still requires Linux and networking competence. Test the workflow on the school or lab’s actual computers, WiFi and user accounts before a large order. Setup time, charging, storage and troubleshooting can affect a class more than a headline specification.

Can TurtleBot3 Burger do SLAM and autonomous navigation? +

Yes. With its LiDAR, odometry and ROS software, Burger can be used for simultaneous localisation and mapping, map-based navigation, teleoperation and obstacle-aware indoor research. Performance depends on environment geometry, reflective surfaces, wheel slip, sensor calibration, map quality and parameter tuning.

It is not a certified safety navigation system and should not be treated as a commercial warehouse AMR. Labs should create controlled test zones, protect stairs and hazards, and supervise experiments. Ask the seller to name every included controller, sensor, battery, charger and software requirement. Product photos often show optional accessories or an older hardware generation.

Does TurtleBot3 Burger include a camera? +

The standard Burger configuration is centred on LiDAR and does not normally include the Raspberry Pi camera supplied with the Waffle Pi. A compatible camera or depth sensor can be added as a custom extension, but the buyer must consider mounting, power, USB bandwidth, processing load, drivers and ROS support.

Product photos and reseller bundles can differ, so check the packing list. If visual perception is required out of the box, compare the Waffle Pi or a custom Burger bundle. Use the robot in a controlled area and define supervision, battery care, speed limits and recovery procedures. Educational equipment is not a safety-certified industrial system even when it can navigate autonomously.

What LiDAR comes with TurtleBot3 Burger? +

The exact LiDAR depends on kit generation and stock. ROBOTIS has updated TurtleBot3 from earlier LDS versions and states that LDS-03 began replacing LDS-02 in current Burger and Waffle Pi kits from 2025. Older inventory or used robots may include LDS-01 or LDS-02.

Confirm the sensor model before buying because drivers, specifications, connectors and replacement availability can differ. The product name alone does not identify every component generation. Plan for replacement batteries, wheels, cables, sensors and controllers across the intended teaching period. A low initial price is less useful if common classroom damage cannot be repaired locally.

How much payload can TurtleBot3 Burger carry? +

ROBOTIS lists a maximum payload of approximately 15 kg, but that number should not be interpreted as a recommendation to operate continuously at maximum load. Added weight changes acceleration, braking, wheel traction, motor temperature, stability, battery runtime and localisation. The mounting position and centre of gravity also matter.

For education and research, small computers and sensors are more typical payloads. If the project requires reliable transport of heavy loads, use an AMR designed and safety-rated for material handling. Compare alternatives using the same learning objectives, student-to-robot ratio, programming level, curriculum, support and total fleet cost. More features are not valuable if teachers cannot deploy them reliably.

Should I buy TurtleBot3 Burger or Waffle Pi? +

Choose Burger for a smaller, lower-cost ROS platform focused on LiDAR navigation, teaching and compact experiments. Choose Waffle Pi when the larger chassis, stronger XM430 drive actuators, standard camera, higher listed payload and greater expansion space justify the much higher price. Waffle Pi is not automatically better for every lab; its footprint and cost can reduce the number of robots a class can afford.

Compare sensor needs, payload, workspace, software, spares and student-to-robot ratio. Anton Robots can help compare packages and suppliers, but the buyer should verify current software, hardware generation, warranty and regional availability in writing before placing a fleet order.
