We're building MockBOTs (fake TurtleBots).
Here's a free PDF!
The MockBOT
I'm working towards a system where it's just the robot and a Smartphone with a hotspot (eliminating the ROS2 Workstation). To that end, I have started running slam_toolbox, localization, and Nav2 on the robot's Pi5 and am finding it equivalent to the Workstation. I'm currently running Vizanti on the computer and will install it on the Pi to eliminate the computer and view Vizanti on the Smartphone (Vizanti runs as a server).

The MockBOT project is a great introduction to ROS 2 and the path towards building a useful personal robot (one that can map, navigate, and carry a decent payload). We're also having some fun playing around with AI technology! Please join us if you are interested in building this robot.
