Frequently asked questions
How do T1 and DR02 compare on price?
T1: $29,800. DR02: Contact. Only one of the two has a public unit price; the other publishes a range or enterprise-only terms.
Are both T1 and DR02 shipping to customers?
Yes. Both are commercially available as of the last review. Delivery timelines and customer geographies vary per vendor — check the manufacturer page for each.
Which is better for ROS-based development: T1 or DR02?
T1 has ros2; DR02 has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Does T1 or DR02 use LiDAR?
DR02 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; T1 does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
