TurtleBot is a personal robot kit with
TurtleBot 2 received numerous upgrades to its predecessor. A YUJIN Kobuki mobile serves as its base outfitted with a 2200 mAh battery. The Kinect sensor and Asus 1215N laptop are reused from the TurtleBot 1. Turtlebot 2's package included a fast charger to decrease time between deployments.
The TurtleBot 2 also features the a hardware mounting kit (similar to the previous generation) allowing for additional sensors to be added more easily as needed. The improvements to the TurtleBot 2 make it a more versatile starting point for prototyping and exploring robotics applications.
TurtleBot 3 has additional structural expansion capabilities due to the ROBOTIS’ modular structure along with the DYNAMIXEL.

Versions
TurtleBot 1
TurtleBot 1 consists of an iRobot Create base, a 3000 mAh battery pack, a TurtleBot power board with gyro, a Kinect sensor, an Asus 1215N laptop with a dual core processor, and a hardware mounting kit. The hardware mounting kit enables other sensors to be added afterwards.TurtleBot 2

TurtleBot 3
TurtleBot 3 has additional structural expansion capabilities due to the ROBOTIS’ modular structure along with the DYNAMIXEL.
TurtleBot 4 TurtleBot 4
is using an iRobot Create3 robot as a base with a compute and sensor package consisting of a Raspberry PI 4, a LiDAR Scanner, and a RGB-D camera.
TurtleBot 4 comes in two models – TurtleBot 4 Standard and TurtleBot 4 Lite. Both are equipped with an iRobot® Create3 mobile base, a powerful Raspberry Pi 4 running ROS 2, OAK-D spatial AI stereo camera, 2D LiDAR and more. All components have been seamlessly integrated to deliver an out-of-the-box development and learning platform.
