Home Bot: Autonomous navigation with voice interaction - Nav2 how-to ?

I have created this home robot: #robotics #nvidia #jetson #ros2 #yolo #amrs #edgeai #openrobotics | Sampath Bommakanti

As a v2 of this project: I want to move from reactive obstacle avoidance to grounded SLAM with ROS Nav2 for precise goal-directed movement.

I have a rover chassis without wheel encoders (no servo motors) so I have two options:

  • Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO): use the depth-sensor (hp60c) + IMU
  • 2D LIDAR

Can you suggest one over the other or if there are any better alternatives I should know ?

Thanks,

Sampath
