📚 Introduction to LIMO Cobot
Welcome to your all-in-one guide for the LIMO Cobot project—a full-stack, real-world robotics platform that brings together autonomous exploration, object detection, and mobile manipulation into a single, production-ready system.
LIMO Cobot is an autonomous mobile manipulation robot based on the AgileX LIMO Pro platform, featuring a MyCobot arm, YOLOv8 object detection, and a custom ROS2 control stack. It can autonomously explore, find, pick, and deliver objects—making it perfect for research, teaching, and practical automation demos.
🛠️ What does it actually do?
- Explores a mapped environment completely on its own
- Uses advanced YOLOv8 AI to detect target objects in 3D
- Plans and executes safe paths to each object (even with obstacles)
- Picks up the object with a MyCobot arm (via wireless control!)
- Returns to base, drops the object, and resumes exploring
- All steps are voice-enabled: the robot talks you through every stage
💡 Why was this built?
Building a working mobile manipulation robot isn’t just about code—it’s about real-world lessons, hardware hacks, mistakes, and “aha!” moments.
This project distills those lessons into a workflow you can actually reproduce, learn from, and extend.
If you want to go beyond “just simulations”—if you want to make robots that do something useful in real rooms, with real objects—LIMO Cobot is for you.
