Catkin workspace for the Fall 2021 FIU Senior Design project.

Autonomous Dryvacuum Cleaner for Enriched Uranium

Description

This is the repository holding the catkin workspace to our ROS-controlled robot being developed for Senior Design 2 at FIU, Fall 2021.

Probem Statement

The team designed the autonomous dry-vacuum cleaner to navigate through facilities and effectively collect any debris in its path. This device will identify any debris and safely pick it up without user intervention. The device will be easy to maintain, will avoid obstacles, and will not have any wireless communication technology.
