This week, researchers at MIT CSAIL are showcasing PIGINet, which is designed to bring task and motion planning to home robotic systems.
What do you think are the biggest limitations to robots in the home? Privacy concerns, limited utility, inability to overcome simple obstacles, price or something else?
I tried to build one, and the hardest thing was setting up route planning. But it was also way easier than it could’ve been, and if I’d wanted to, I could’ve solved my problem by buying more common, modern sensors.
The field, I think, is moving along really well. There’s always things that could be easier, but I’m loathe to complain when so many people have made such great open source tools.
I was using ROS with a Kinect 1 and an old Roomba, running on a Jetson Nano, btw.
