Introducing an Open-Source Autonomous Navigation & Interactive Robot

Projects
1

Hello everyone,

I’m currently developing an open-source autonomous mobile robot that combines navigation, computer vision, voice interaction, and AI assistance into a single platform.

The robot is designed to operate autonomously while providing natural human-robot interaction through voice, vision, and sensor-based awareness.

Hardware

  • Raspberry Pi
  • RP LiDAR C1
  • Camera
  • Android Tablet Interface
  • Robotics Sensors
  • Motor Control System

Software Stack

  • ROS2
  • MediaPipe
  • RTAB-Map
  • FastAPI
  • Docker
  • Whisper
  • NVIDIA Isaac Sim

AI Infrastructure

The robot utilizes cloud-based AI services running on NVIDIA H200 GPUs for advanced perception and AI workloads, while real-time robot control remains on-board.

Planned Features

  • Autonomous Navigation
  • LiDAR-based Mapping and SLAM
  • Obstacle Avoidance
  • Human Detection and Tracking
  • Face and Gesture Recognition
  • Voice Assistant Integration
  • Natural Language Interaction
  • Real-Time Robot Telemetry
  • Cloud-Assisted AI Processing
  • Digital Twin Simulation using Isaac Sim

Current Status

Development is currently focused on ROS2 integration, navigation, perception pipelines, and human-robot interaction capabilities.

I would appreciate feedback from the community regarding architecture, navigation stack design, and ROS2 best practices.

Title is a bit misleading, seems you are introducing a robot plan, no robot to introduce in the post or the GitHub repository.

Further your Raspberry Pi 5 is way underpowered to support autonomy. Remote controlled mobile sensor platform with probable data throughput issues.

Sorry to rain on your parade. Eager to see what you have built and working.

So sorry that, I didn’t mentioned all in detailed also our team didn’t updated the git, basically we are making a interactive bot that is using a Samsung tab A7 for user interaction, you can check on git in branch section, also we are working on 3d design and all soon I’ll update it there, We are looking for collaboration in making and training a personal assistance model, Also I’m working on URDF file once it completed, we need help in training the bot in Isaac. And at we have jetson orin also but we are trying to make it as small as possible.
thanks for showing interest looking forward for collaboration

Hey, guys I just created URDF file of my bot and trying to import in Isaac Sim but facing issues in joints in sim. I’m sharing the file help me out in setting this is Isaac Sim
