Raspberry Piでロボットを作っています。現在、LiDARで部屋の地図を自動生成するところまで来ました🤖 ROS2（Robot Operating System 2）とSLAMを使って、ロボットに載せたLiDARのスキャンデータから部屋のマップを作成しています🗺️ 🔧 構成： ✅ Raspberry Pi 4 → ロボットの頭脳（ROS2 Jazzy） ✅ SLAMTEC A1M8 LiDAR → 360度の距離測定 ✅ ICM42688-P IMU → 姿勢・加速度の検出 ✅ DCモーター × 2 + L298N → 駆動制御 ✅ バッテリー駆動 → ケーブルなしで移動 手動でロボットを動かしながらLiDARでスキャンすると、slam_toolboxが壁や障害物の位置を推定して2Dマップを生成してくれます。RViz2で可視化すると、自分の部屋の間取りがリアルタイムに描かれていく様子が見れます📊 ROS2は産業用ロボットと同じフレームワーク。これがRaspberry Piで動くのは面白いです。次のステップは、この地図を使った自律走行（Nav2）です🛠️ 皆さんはロボット、作ったことあり / 興味あり / ラジコンで十分、どれですか？ #RaspberryPi #ROS2

@kamathsblog calibrated a USB webcam on his LeKiwi mobile robot entirely headless (no monitor attached to the Raspberry Pi, no GUI calibration tool) and used Foxglove to verify the results remotely over Wi-Fi. The standard ROS 2 camera_calibration package expects a display for real-time visual feedback while positioning a checkerboard. Since LeKiwi runs Ubuntu Server on a Pi with no screen, Aditya wrote a modified calibration node that reports coverage progress in the terminal and uses OpenCV's calibrateCameraExtended with algorithmic outlier detection to compensate for not being able to visually filter bad frames. The entire calibration ran on the Pi while he monitored the camera feed through Foxglove's Image panel over a Zenoh Bridge connection from his laptop. After calibration, Foxglove handled validation in two ways. The Image panel's rectification toggle let him compare raw and corrected imagery side by side, confirming the barrel distortion correction was applied correctly. The 3D panel rendered the camera's frustum within the robot's URDF coordinate frame, giving a spatial view of the field of view relative to the chassis and LiDAR. He also explored the plane projection mode for visualizing the wide-angle camera output projected onto a ground plane. With the perception stack now calibrated, the LeKiwi build is approaching Nav2 autonomous navigation. All code is on GitHub. hubs.li/Q0461J-_0 #Robotics #ROS2 #ComputerVision #OpenSource #autonomy

Working on the SLAM Handbook has been one of the highlights of my career — I’m grateful to have collaborated with such an incredible group of co-editors and contributors. The handbook is now free and open-source: dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/… [1/n]

Hoy estoy en la @etsii_urjc , que me han invitado a dar una charla de nuestros trabajos sobre #Robotica y #Navegacion a las 15:20 en el salón de grados del departamental II, en el workshop sites.google.com/view/bicyps-20…

Join us next Wednesday, March 25th at 9am for our next @GazeboSim Community Meeting. Our guest speaker will be Hrithik Verma, a robotics software engineer at Clutterbot, who will discuss how to build Gazebo plugins the easy way! Details in the Luma invite. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
