Here's next week's video, early for Patrons. This one goes out publicly on Tuesday 29th. I really wanted to see how well navigation would work like this, rather than the in-depth stuff I did with ROS. I'm going to be doing some more autonomous/mobile robot projects.

I decided it was time to make an automatic robot bin that can come to you when you ask it to! It used both dead reckoning and vision-assisted guidance to make it navigate autonomously. I used an NVIDIA Jetson Nano to do the vision recognition, re-training the deep learning model with transfer learning. I also used Deepgram for speech recognition. There's an Arduino controlling the motors and reading the encoders.

you could also build into it support for Alexa/Google assistant and train the locations to be locations of the device?

Brilliant I’ve been waiting for the beer from the fridge for ages

That would probably be ideal. I did that project with Colin Furze, but it was only single commands for 'item on' - things have probably moved on since then.

Awesome stuff. Crazy how relatively simple this sort of thing has gotten with computer vision. It occurs to me that you might really want fiducial markers that aren't symmetric: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5184844 Or perhaps unique 3-D landmarks are even more effective?

Loved this Project. Thanks for the hard work
