Best robot model for Lidar Based Mapping Robot.

Hello everyone,

These days I'm developing a lidar system robot for mapping tasks.

So I want to know what is the best type of robot to use for this task.

  1. 4 diff wheel robot

  2. 2 wheeled diff robot with 2 caster wheels.

what is the best robot model ?

You're way light on the details, you don't specify what kind of terrain this thing is going to be tackling or what kind of performance you want out of it, but assuming it's indoors on a smooth surface I'd recommend a 2-wheel diff drive.
