Autonomous SLAM Robot for Hospital Mapping and Delivery (NixBot)

Overview

This project is aimed at developing an autonomous robot utilizing ROS 2 (Robot Operating System 2) for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in hospital environments. The robot is designed to navigate through hospital corridors, map its surroundings, and deliver items autonomously.

Features

  • SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping): The robot employs SLAM algorithms to create a map of its environment while simultaneously determining its own position within that environment.

  • Autonomous Navigation: Utilizing sensor data and mapping information, the robot navigates autonomously through hospital corridors and rooms, avoiding obstacles and dynamically planning paths.

  • Delivery System: The robot is equipped with a delivery mechanism to transport items within the hospital premises. It is capable of picking up and dropping off items at designated locations.

Prerequisites

  • ROS 2: Ensure that ROS 2 is installed on your system. You can refer to the ROS 2 installation instructions for guidance.

  • Hardware: The project may require specific hardware components such as Raspberry Pi 4B, LiDAR, motor controllers (Arduino), and a mobile base. Ensure that the hardware setup is compatible and properly configured.
