Very cool.  How much time do you get between battery swaps?

I always wanted to turn Roli into a robot weeder for the lawn. Run around the lawn look for weeds and spray each individual weed with a small amount of weed killer.

I figured it would make a great prototype for a commercial product. Pretty sure ARC has everything you need to make that happen. Lidar, location track, AI/ML, Servos, camera etc

I can't say exactly yet, I still have the first 2Ah battery inside for testing without having changed it once. The original battery is always empty after a few minutes. Have to test it more closely, the original battery has 1.3 Ah at 7.4V, this one now has 2 Ah at 18V minus the losses from the StepDown converter ...

I'm excited about the community and ARC, accidentally stumbled across it while looking for updates on InMoov. I made an InMoov about 1/3, head and chest, but haven't done anything with it for 3 years. Now I stumbled across ARC and thought I'd start with Roli to gain experience.

Yes, lidar is another topic that interests me, I ordered a RockPi, should the days arrive, and then we'll see how I can get it in the Roli ...

roli curiosity . very nice project . ARC on mars .

here is my InMoov:

With an Intel NUC inside (i7, 16GB, 1TB NVMe) 2x Arduino Mega, MS Cams, Kinect all additional boards etc. I also have all the servos here that are necessary to finish it, all printed with ABS. But I haven't done anything with him for at least 3 years. I'm toying with the idea of switching it to ARC, but first I'm playing with Roli to get to know ARC better...

I love your work. Nicely done.

thanks, just found your experiences with the RockPi X, hope everything goes well when mine comes ....
