Nature Mobility Robot

Project Description

This robot will embody the environment and ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest. It will move autonomously through outdoor public spaces and interact with people on the street. The robot will integrate ROS 2, OpenCV, SLAM, and Nav2 to navigate, generate its own maps, avoid obstacles, and understand real-time conditions in the street environment.
