Building an Open-Source Robot Vacuum – Meet Oomwoo

A maker is launching OOMWOO, an open-source robot vacuum that users can build themselves using affordable components like a Raspberry Pi and 2D LiDAR, with all hardware, firmware, and software freely available. The project operates entirely locally without cloud dependency and integrates with Home Assistant, with the creator building it publicly and inviting community contributions through modular tasks. The hardware is in early development stages, but the software environment is already available for simulation and testing.
