Here's a preview of a project that's coming up in a couple of weeks - it's the next ROS robot, and it'll also contain an NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX so it can do vision recognition using deep learning models and various other clever stuff.

It's large enough to reach a table top, eventually it'll have an arm on the top that goes up and down a linear rail, as well as some sort of 'sensor head'. It's inspired by the Unbounded Robotics UBR-1, or the Willow Garage PR-2 robots, and I'll be using this one for ongoing development of intelligent machines rather than building more and more smaller robots.

Tracked robot is coming up again next week for Patrons though to test out Transfer Learning with NVIDIA Jetson Nano.

Really excited about this build James! :-)

Can’t wait to see some more ROS, I only have one 3D printer so my own project is taking a while to build

You persist to surprise me with great builds. Do you think it will be able to drive over doorsteps?

Doug Cooper

nice design. Does the arm support nest in the base?

There's another 'top' on the bottom, and then the linear section is on top of that ;-)

This looks great. I love the modular design approach. Will you be using 360 LIDAR in the head?

XRobots

I'll be using a 2D 360 LIDAR on the front low down, at least a camera on the head, I haven't decided what else yet

I think it would probably be an Intel Realsense camera - they do a depth version and a 'tracking' version. But those are things I need to look at some more.
