We're going to play with the new robot that I have been re-building. Added the Rock Pi/x, Intel Realsense T265 & D435i, and the Sabertooth with Kangaroo. We can play around with navigating waypoints and checking out the new renderer. It'll be the first real test that I'll have with this robot, the new ARC build, and updated robot skills.

Oh no way,LoL! Was a great hack night. I ended up going to the hospital in the morning,here all day and overnight.Suffering from another baby toe infection, soon I will only have 8 toes left. AS LONG AS I can still drive my performance car,that's all I ask

Fore warning, if you go to a city hospital for any reason they will keep asking if you had a covid test,just say yes because to be admitted for a few days they won't ask you ,they sneak up behind you when you are looking the other way and a nurse will ram this 12 inch rod up your nose to get covid test without your permission.

Edit due to length unrelated and too long,lol!

Hello DJ, So can we Connect 3d depth camera for SLAM navigation on Ez-B Controller? I have EZ-B v4 with camera module, The feature i need is Slam navigation but it is not possible with just Camera model of EZ-B, so i was planning to add 3d depth camera to EZ-B so is it possible ?

@rudra.rajput . It sounds like you want to use vSLAM technology (Visual SLAM) that use cameras to map and navigate in real time. I've read that some self driving cars use vSLAM. After looking through the support section on this Synthiam site I don't see any skills that can do this. It's mostly Lidar. There are a couple skills that use cameras but they are remotely mounted (like on the ceiling) to help map position.

Good luck and have fun with this!

You can use 3d depth cameras. There are a few supported. You can see all supported robot skills in the robot skill store section. Here are a few...

The link provided a tutorial, and other information has already been provided. It uses the NMS (navigation messaging system), documented in the getting started guide. The complete documentation for how it works is here: https://synthiam.com/Support/ARC-Overview/robot-navigation-messaging-system
