CleanIt

Open-source Autonomy Software in Rust-lang with gRPC for the Roomba series robot vacuum cleaners

Motivation

Motivation is to build a complete DIY autonomy software from scratch (motion planning, guidance and motion control, SLAM, mission control, 2D/3D visualization etc..) with a real-time client-server communication stream using async gRPC for intercommunication and distributed compute.

Contributions are welcome!

Would you like to contribute with work and/or ideas, feel free to check out the Project Backlog

Run the Roomba client and API

Run the server
