A mobile indoor shoe-detecting robot
01 Nov 2024We wanted to experiment with a low-budget mobile robot with machine-learning (ML) capabilities. We decided on a project in which the robot's mission is to detect when someone enters the house wearing shoes, and respond accordingly, helping maintain a shoe-free space!
