Key Features

This robot is in a niche field due to the compatibility with ROS 2 programming, making it stand out. I can't see a better price in AU, but overseas it's selling for $569.99 EUR, $599.99 CAD for example. AU branch of Chironix sell the Turtlebot4 (built off of the Create3) for $2850 USD. And before you ask, sadly it doesn't vacuum or mop (even at this price)!
