/tinyTurtle

tinyTurtle is a low-cost open-source robotic platform running on tinyML and microROS. This was developed to provide an alternative to expensive gears for those pursuing mobile robotics with limited resources [ like me! ]. It was primarily dedicated for robot swarm, mapping & navigation.

Update: We actually had our very first succesful implementation of the tinyTurtle platform. For details have a look at our preprint: L-VITeX: Light-weight Visual Intuition for Terrain Exploration

Firstly, do not think of this project as a guide; it's rather an open journal. The project is something I am exploring myself and sharing my findings as I go. You can use all the resources available here and do as you like and/or even better you can contribute to this project to make it much better, which I highly encourage. That being said, there are two ways you can get along:

  1. You could follow me as I go along sharing my projects, which is not recommended as my interests are, in a word, "capricious" and may not be what you intend to do. Furthermore, following me would be quite time intensive as at the time of writing this I am working on two gigs so I can barely manage time for regular updates on a hobby project. However, if you just want to learn with no specific goal in a chill pace, you are welcome to follow me. OR

  2. You could use the resources to build your own projects, help those having similar issues and and contribute to the overall open-source/open-journal nature of this repo, which I highly recommend. You are open to let me know of my mistakes as well. Let's improve together, eh?
