TurtleBot 4 | An out of this world demonstration

May 5, 2023

Happy Star Wars Day from Clearpath Robotics, and May the 4th be with you!

In this video we highlight a fun project created by Sam Tagliabracci, Hilary Luo and Jeff Schmidt during our recent company-wide TurtleBot 4 Hackathon. In this project the team explored vocalization functionalities, and GPT to give the robot it's character and personality.

Backstory:
"A small, lost, and adorable alien robot has crash landed on our planet. Many of its subsystems were damaged and it is seeking help! Luckily, our team of brilliant engineers stumbled upon the stranded robot and moved it to the repair bay. With their expertise, they've managed to repair the damaged subsystems and get the robot back up and running. The lost robot begins communicating and we learn about its home origins, its self-awareness of its own sensors, hopes to return back to its home planet, fear of cliffs and dangerous hazards, as well as its intelligent interpretation of our human language"
