Ball-Wheeled Omni-Directional Car Drives Itself Using Arduino Ventuno Q

At a glance

This video from James Bruton's channel shows a self-driving robot car with ball-shaped wheels that can move in any direction. It is also sponsored by Arduino as an ad for its new Ventuno Q board.

What the video covers

1. 1

   The Ventuno Q board runs ROS2, a common framework for building robot software, along with Nav2, a set of tools for robot navigation.

2. 2

   Two RPLIDAR S3 lidar sensors scan the surroundings to build a map and find a route through it.

Why watch it?

Anyone curious about how robot self-driving is actually built may find it useful.
