A robotic arm assembly being held above a container of hardware components during an early development session.

Problem

A robot needs to navigate, detect, and retrieve a soda can using a mobile base, sensor, camera, and arm.

Solution

The current direction combines a Kobuki/TurtleBot2 base for movement, an A1 RPLiDAR for navigation, a camera for object detection, and a robotic arm for grasping.
