Background
In a museum, a guide robot must recognize exhibits and coordinate movement, posture, and narration. This Unitree Go2 project connects perception and task execution across computing platforms.
My contributions
- Streamed onboard camera video to Jetson Orin and used OpenCV for QR-code detection and exhibit identification.
- Programmed the RK3588 controller to receive exhibit IDs and coordinate robot motion, posture, and audio playback through DDS.
- Built a perception–decision–action loop to synchronize autonomous navigation and exhibit narration.
Technical approach
Recognize exhibits
Jetson Orin and OpenCV extract exhibit IDs from camera video.
Coordinate tasks
RK3588 coordinates execution modules through DDS.
Move & narrate
Synchronize navigation, posture adjustment, and audio playback.
Outcomes & evaluation
Go2Quadruped platform
DDSCross-module task communication
- Integrated an intelligent museum guide system on a physical Go2 platform.
- Connected visual recognition outputs to robot movement and narration.
