Next week's video for Patrons is part 2 of my drop-in robot navigation module using an Intel Realsense Tracking Camera instead of wheel Odometry. I put the LIDAR on the top this time and made space for a Jetson Nano to run ROS.  Video comes up early next week for Patrons.

Have you had a chance to try out the setup outside? I'm really curious to know how well it works in sunlight.

It would need a much better laser than the one I'm using on this - even inside it looks like reflections are a real issue. The laser on the Really Useful Robot gives a much better scan. There are some specialist ones out there though for many more $$

Interesting design, do you see any room for space/weight optimization?

Possibly, it rather depends on the robot and the laser in use. That LIDAR is pretty much the cheapest you can buy.

I wonder if you could do a controlled experiment on the Really Useful Robot to compare this module to the 'ground truth' of the wheel odometry / better LIDAR unit?

Did you see that YouTuber Pranshu made a URDF for your RUR? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7w7yv-Nros&t=6400s I bet you could get a lot of people on the internet to help you iterate and document your brilliant robot ideas if you can figure out the right calls to action. I love seeing the open source movement support creators such as yourself.

I missed that somehow. It's quite a hard job to manage sorting out all the pull requests for an open source project like this, so actually manage and document it properly. If I was a company making a project and that's all I was developing it would probably be beneficial ;-)
