3. Open Source Code & Tutorials

In the public repository, each section has its own functional code files that users can individually access through commands. Additionally, comprehensive tutorial services are provided, allowing users to choose between videos or documentations for learning and operation. The public courses include: 3D SLAM Technology , Multi-Sensor Fusion Technology , and SLAM Algorithm Principles & Practice etc.

Getting Started

The kit includes an intelligent logistics task management system software, featuring an intuitive visual UI design and supporting one-click start functionality for operation. It integrates a visual camera perspective to monitor the logistics process in real time.

1. Start with UI

First, you need to install remote software on your or connect to it via SSH. Then, open the UI, and after confirming that the hardware is successfully connected, click ‘Quick Start’ to activate all ROS functions.

Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance :

The mobile robot scans the environment and, using path planning algorithms, moves toward the first detected logistics shelf.

Location Code Recognition and OCR Text Analysis :

Through visual recognition of the goods, the robot identifies and grabs items, then navigates to the corresponding logistics station based on the recognition results.

Mobile Robot Movement and Robotic Arm Pick & Place :

After scanning the logistics station code and confirming the destination, the mobile robot navigates to the target location. It then calls the robotic arm to perform pick-and-place actions, placing the package at the designated logistics station. The system repeats this cycle continuously.

2. Additional Features

Our code is fully open-source. If you would like to modify or add personal features, you can activate the ROS environment using the source code to make your changes.

source devel/setup.bashroslaunch myagv_odometry myagv_active.launch

If the robot fails to move properly and needs to be manually controlled for up, down, left, and right movements, you can also directly use the remote control function.
