myAGV
A compact omnidirectional mobile platform for research and mobile manipulation.
Overview
The myAGV is a compact mobile robot platform featuring Mecanum wheels for omnidirectional movement. It integrates a Raspberry Pi controller, lidar, and camera for autonomous navigation and SLAM. The chassis is designed for mounting robotic arms, forming a compound mobile-manipulator system.
