Dream has been to have my robot wander (using vSLAM) taking pictures of “unknown interesting objects”, (<-hard part), segmenting and learning the objects for #OpenWorldObjectDetection

(All local processing for privacy)

#MastersThesisIdea use #GoPiGo3 or #TurtleBot4 robot with #Oak-D #StereoDepthCamera, #ROS 2 distributed processing for #RTABmap #vSLAM and rejected RTABmap frames (unknowns) for #UnknownObject Detection and incremental model #MachineLearning

On my mind? Sadness, Frustration, Exhaustion

After investing 3 months/over 1000 hours in the #create3robot, I am exhausted, frustrated, and very sad to have hit a wall in my dream for Wali - the wallfollower looking for intelligence.

iRobotEducation gave a valiant effort but was not able to prevent the bot from having seizures when I ran #RTABmap with the #OakDlite stereo depth camera.

I am so bummed out.
