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.
