Fully Autonomous Off-Road La Z Boy Robot

We took all the comfort of a home living room and combined it with the offroad power of a small tank! This is using a Bunker Pro from Agile-X with a Jetson Orin AGX to autonomously follow a previously-recorded path. The robot can localize itself within 1cm and know its orientation thanks to the RTK GPS on the GQ7 from Microstrain. Object avoidance during navigation is done with a 2D lidar and a pointcloud from a ZED2i stereo camera. A lot of different hardware so I can ride around offroad in comfort!

All the code is online too here:

😅 that was awesome! Fantastic job as usual Dave!

Which version of ROS is this using? Noetic? It’s been good to follow your increasingly-complex ROS setups.

Hey @dusty_nv , glad you like the project! It’s still Noetic. I haven’t had the time to get into ROS2, but it’s on my list
