Description of the team and robot
We are all students at NMBU studying applied robotics. Our robot, Peik, is a compact modular robot designed for easy maintenance and quick prototying. This year, we aim to solve the tasks with cheaper depth cameras, as apposed to 3D LiDAR.

Controller system software description:
We are using our depth cameras for 3D Visual SLAM, colapsed into a 2D map passed to Nav2. The rows are extracted using clustering. These clusters are used to calculate the apropriate waypoits that are passed to Nav2.
Controller system hardware description:
Peik is controlled with a Jetson Orin AGX connected to four Odrive S1 motor controllers.
Peik is made inhouse from a mix of custum and commercially availeble parts.
Short strategy description for navigation and applications:
The rows are extracted using clustering. These clusters are used to calculate the apropriate waypoits that are passed to Nav2.
