Automated Warehouse Robot (AWR)

An autonomous robot for picking and transporting items in a warehouse.

Technical Details

The AWR navigates a simulated warehouse environment using SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) with a 2D LiDAR sensor. It's built on ROS and controlled by a central fleet management system. The robot receives picking orders, navigates to the item location, uses a camera with computer vision (OpenCV) to identify the item, and transports it to the packing station. The entire fleet is coordinated to avoid collisions and optimize routes.
