Hello everyone, so I'll talk about just one, which is an open source robot that I've just built recently.
It's a not-to-not-to-not-most-make-and-a-mood robot, and if you don't know what's making them wheels, you're going to see what it means.
So if you're here today, you're probably going to agree with this slide, open sources call, right?
We can use open source packages, we can contribute to software, and that's really great.
But the issue that we have with robotics is that, open, we develop software so that it can be put on hardware.
And hardware is expensive.
So I was working in autonomous driving, and unfortunately they don't let you go back home with a hard-for-million dollar robots so that you can try your own thing.
So I had to build my own hardware so I can try things at home.
And it can be quite expensive if you check the famous total, but you have to spend at this $1,000 dollar so that you can try a few things at home.
So that's why I built just one.
It's probably one of the cheapest small autonomous robots that you can build right now.
You can do it even cheaper, and that if you don't use the lighter, but I feel like it's a good thing to play a hand with a lighter so that you can learn what it is.
And how it is different from a camera.
Plus I was coming from a self-driving car that was using a lighter so it was not Tesla.
So you can see the build of materials over there.
You end up with a robot which is 250 dollars, which is yeah.
Once again, probably one of the cheapest ones you can find on the market.
This is a bunch of packages open source packages I'm using for just one.
You can be controlled manually and autonomously.
I've used AutoB SLAM for the autonomy for the SLAM.
Now, too, very well known as well using Royce 2.Jazzy, but trying a few other alternative probably copper has maybe in the future.
And for this for the data visualization, a really powerful tool that also helping you debug your data and check out your logs and things like that.
This is a screenshot of you can see the folks who love UI with just one running autonomously and navigating across a very complex environment of suitcases over there.
Really really nice one.
I have two minutes and I can show you actually a demo of that.
So this is just one.
And those are mechanical tools so you can do things like that.
You can basically move into all directions or take on yourself.
And you can see the small light out on top of it.
It's only a 2D light out so it's only collecting into this.
So it's really targeted for beginners in robotics.
On my repo, I explain how to install Ubuntu on your Raspberry Pi.
How to install Host 2 or to install everything.
So it's really targeted for absolute beginners in robotics.
Check out the repo.
A few ideas I have for the future, of course, doing a Docker image.
Adding some wheel and colors that's going to help for SLAM.
Using both the camera and the light out for SLAM.
So at the moment SLAM is only using the light out.
And you can combine it with cameras so it can be a bit more accurate.
And working in simulation so it can be even cheaper for anyone that don't want to actually build the hardware.
And that's it for me. Thanks a lot.
