Introducing an Open-Source Autonomous Navigation & Interactive Robot

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.
