SCUTTLE (Sensing, Connected, Utility Transport Taxi for Level Environments) is an open-source differential-drive mobile robot designed at Texas A&M University for undergraduate robotics education. Originally developed for the MXET 300 Mobile Robotics course, the platform has expanded into an active global community with over 89 GitHub stars and commercial kit availability.

The robot is payload-capable — carrying up to 9 kg (20 lbs) — built around an aluminum extrusion frame with 3D-printed mounts and brackets for all major components. The 18-part printable set covers the motor drive bracket (mDrvBrkt), encoder bracket (encdrBrkt), motor pulley (mtrPuly), CPU bracket (cpuBrkt), battery bracket and hoop (btryBrkt, btryHoop), battery panel (btryPanel), camera bracket (cmraBrkt), camera joint (cmraJnt), kickstand (kickStnd), and servo/power components.
Drive uses 12V DC motors with gearboxes (200 RPM) and AMS AS5048B magnetic encoders for odometry. The controller is either a BeagleBone Blue (with integrated motor drivers, 9-axis IMU, WiFi, and servo ports) or a Raspberry Pi. All software runs Python 3 on embedded Linux. A USB camera and ultrasonic sensors provide basic perception. WiFi connectivity enables remote teleoperation and data logging from a browser.
The design prioritizes under-$350 total cost with all structural parts printable and all electronic components available globally from standard distributors.
