Hi all, excited to share our latest work, OK-Robot, which is an open and modular framework to perform navigation and manipulation with a robot assistant in practically any homes without having to teach the robot anything new!

Hi HN! We're Matician (https://matician.com/) 5.5 years ago, we started building an autonomous home robot with these goals: * Reliable autonomy — no user interventions, it should just work * Everything on the device — no cloud storage or compute, robot-to-app data through local WiFi * Usefulness — solve a genuine problem that will impact real people To achieve this, we * wrote the robot's software stack in Rust * used only RGB cameras and Mics as input — humans can navigate with only these sensors, so why can’t a robot? * developed SLAM and computer vision algorithms that run…
