Model: Jackal
---VERSION---
Flavour: melodic-bionic
Version: 0.5.9
Built by: b55081d8a53

----------------------
lshw -C network says that the wireless interface (AR9462 Wirless Network Adapter) is disabled. It sometimes work, but turns off by itself.
Also, reaching out to CPR support was unhelpful. They told me to just bump the system to 20.04, but I need to use 18.04 with ROS1.

What is the difference between the jackal in front of you and the one behind?

[@Clearpath]

Hi Nathaniel - good question! The Jackal in the back is equipped with our Autonomy Research Kit (an extra computer, two lidar sensors and our autonomy software). This gives the Jackal indoor autonomous navigation capabilities out of the box. The Jackal in the front is a base Jackal - it doesn't have any sensors integrated yet or other customizations. Hope this helps!
