An Intelligent Household Robot with Autonomous Navigation and Objects Classification

With the continuous advancement of technology, the development of robots is expected to meet the demands for personalization, intelligence, affordability, and reliability. Among different types of robots, intelligent robots have become an indispensable part of daily life. To expand the functionality and improve accessibility, this paper proposed an intelligent robot for households to serve as a family organizer, companion, and supervisor. This robot’s automation characteristics enable it to independently realize functions such as storage management, early-stage warning systems, and interactive entertainment. A flexible gripper is designed to reduce potential danger in the grasping process. Based on the Lidar, odometer, and depth camera, this robot can achieve autonomous navigation, object recognition, and classification through Cartographer and YOLO algorithms.
