About

About Fictionlab

Based in Wrocław, Fictionlab grew from the Turtle Rover project into a commercial mobile-robot platform company. Leo Rover is a compact open-source four-wheel UGV used by universities, research labs and integrators, while Raph Rover provides a larger base for heavier payloads and demanding field work.

The company publishes software, firmware and mechanical resources and supports ROS-based extension rather than locking customers into a closed application. Fictionlab also offers custom engineering for inspection, mapping, agriculture, space-robotics research and internal logistics. Its primary role is a development-platform builder: customers add sensors, compute and autonomy to a field-ready base instead of designing mobility hardware from scratch.
