autonomously following transport robot

Idea​

Who hasn't experienced it: constantly having to carry your own backpack? So why not build a robot that follows you around and carries your backpack for you? This is how the idea for the autonomous transport robot was born.

3D model​

Here you can see the 3D model of the transport robot. The robot is equipped with a Jetson Nano, which controls both the camera and the motors. The idea behind it is that the robot follows a person, recognizes obstacles and avoids them with the help of a stereo camera.

Specially manufactured circuit board​

To make the transport robot as compact as possible, I designed and manufactured my own circuit board. This board connects the Jetson Nano with the motors and sensors.

Your next project starts with a conversation

In 30 minutes we clarify what is possible, what it costs and how quickly it can happen. That applies to process automation just as much as to custom software or an API integration.

You talk directly to a developer who can assess your project technically. Afterwards you'll know what an implementation would look like and where you stand on time and budget.
