Fictionlab releases Leo Rover 1.9
Fictionlab released Leo Rover 1.9 with a Raspberry Pi 5, passive cooling, USB-C charging, and updated ROS 2 support.
Evidence notes
- The onboard computer moves to a 4 GB Raspberry Pi 5, increasing available compute for perception and autonomy workloads.
- A new passive-cooling enclosure replaces the previous fan arrangement, reducing moving parts while managing the higher-performance computer.
- USB-C charging and refreshed ROS 2 software support simplify field power and modern robotics-stack integration.
Company context
Fictionlab builds rugged, ROS-ready ground robots for research, education and field prototyping. Its open-source Leo Rover and heavier Raph Rover platforms provide modular mobile bases for autonomy, perception, mapping and custom robotics projects.
