A little over 3 years ago, decided to take up robotics as a hobby and started the "Antwerp" project. My original goal for the robot was to have it fetch a beer from the refrigerator. The project ended up including a software framework written in C# for creating robotic control programs capable of orchestrating and controlling all the sensors and other devices used by the robot.
Still a good distance from fetching a beer, but does recognize beer bottles and working on getting it to pick them up. Also working on a SLAM connector for the framework so Antwerp can find the 'fridge.
Have retired now, so devoting full time to bringing Antwerp as well as the framework to life.
