Hello, would you be interested in building a ROS2 vacuum cleaner robot?

If yes

1. Build/develop vs convert existing?
2. 3D print vs off-the-shelf?
3. Convert existing - root or swap board?

I’d really appreciate your input.

As an example of what I’m doing

- I have connected my vacuum to ROS including /scan, /imu, /cmd\_vel, /odom, brushes (main, side), vacuum fan, IR sensors. Open source here [GitHub - makerspet/proscenic-m6pro: ROS2 robot description for Proscenic M6 Pro · GitHub](https://github.com/makerspet/proscenic-m6pro/)
- I have had a consumer vacuum cleaner robot torn down, converted to 3D design to experiment with 3D printing it. Open source here [GitHub - remakeai/vacuum\_cleaner\_teardown: Teardown of a home robot vacuum cleaner equipped with LiDAR · GitHub](https://github.com/remakeai/vacuum_cleaner_teardown)
