DIY Autonomous Cleaning Robot with Raspberry Pi, LiDAR & ROS
Tired of cleaning? So was I.
In this project I built a smart autonomous wiping robot using Raspberry Pi 5, LiDAR and ROS (Robot Operating System).
The goal was to create a robot that can map a room, plan a path, and wipe the floor automatically — and that anyone interested in robotics can build themselves.
In this video I explain:
• The hardware design of the robot
• The motors, battery, LiDAR and sensors used
• The mistakes that literally smoked my Raspberry Pi and servo
• And how the robot slowly came together
This is Part 1 of the project.
In the next video we will make the robot navigate autonomously using ROS navigation and mapping.
If you're interested in robotics, Raspberry Pi projects, ROS, DIY engineering or building your own robots, you’ll enjoy this series.
