Aiming to integrate robotics, design and creativity with a peculiar team
We're a multidisciplinary team from Colombia blending engineering, design, and production to make robotics accessible and engaging.
The Team:
- 🔧 Felipe — Engineering & Development.
- 🎨 David — Design & Visualization.
- 📢 Danna — Production & Communication.
Our Robotics members:
- 🦾 ORION — Open-source Robot for Interaction Objectives and Navigation (ROS 2 Jazzy).
- 🚗 DiffDan — Differential robot for ROS 2 (Humble).
Building an ESP32-based teleoperation vambrace for ORION using µ-ROS — a complete teleoperation system that lets us control ORION's base velocity, arm movements, emotions, and voice through a custom-built wristband controller.
Technical Stack:
- 🎛️ Hardware: ESP32 microcontroller with analog joystick, potentiometers, membrane keyboard, LEDs & buttons
- 🔌 Communication: micro-ROS bridge connecting to ORION via DDS
- 📡 Control Channels: Base velocity
/mobile_base_controller/cmd_vel, arm joints/simple_left_arm_controller/commands&/simple_right_arm_controller/commands, emotions/emotion/int, and voice/orion_response - 💻 Environment: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, ROS 2 Jazzy, Docker, VS Code, PlatformIO
