Jetbot tools is a set of ROS2 nodes that utilize the Jetson inference DNN vision library for NVIDIA Jetson. With Jetbot tools, you can build your own low-cost 2-wheel robot with a camera and a lidar sensor and make it do the following amazing things:

  • Lidar-assisted object avoidance self-driving: Your robot can navigate autonomously and avoid obstacles using the lidar sensor.

  • Real-time object detection and tracking: Your robot can detect objects using the SSD Mobilenet V2 model. You can also make your robot follow a specific object that it detects.

  • Real-time object detection and distance measurement: Your robot can detect and measure the distance of objects using the SSD Mobilenet V2 model and the lidar sensor. You can also make your robot follow a specific object that it detects and stop when it is too close to the object.

  • NAV2 TF2 position tracking and following: Your robot can track its own position and follow another Jetbot robot using the NAV2 TF2 framework.
