🤖 What is the LIMO COBOT Project?
Mission Statement
To build a modular, real-world-ready mobile manipulator that can autonomously explore, detect, pick, and deliver objects—using only open-source tools, affordable hardware, and robust ROS2 code.
The LIMO COBOT Project brings together a LIMO Pro robot, a MyCobot arm, and state-of-the-art YOLOv8 object detection—creating a powerful, flexible robot capable of autonomous navigation, intelligent object manipulation, and seamless integration with modern research or industrial workflows.
🌟 Key Goals
- Make advanced robotics accessible to everyone (students, researchers, devs)
- Combine navigation, perception, and manipulation into a single working system
- Provide a full, battle-tested workflow from hardware setup to autonomous missions
- Document every step (and mistake!) so you succeed faster than we did
What makes it unique?
- Voice feedback at every stage
- One-command launch and automated IP detection for the arm
- Handles real-world messiness: network drops, hardware fails, bad maps—and recovers
- All code and docs are open for learning, reuse, and hacking
🤩 What can you do with it?
- Deploy as a testbed for AI & robotics research
- Automate pick-and-place tasks in labs, classrooms, or demos
- Build on top: add web UI, new detection models, more arms, or advanced behaviors
