Voxel Grid Obstacle Avoidance on Jetson Orin Nano with a RealSense D436
chrismatthieu · x · 2026-09-05
A weekend build: voxel grid obstacle avoidance using an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and a RealSense D436 stereo depth camera. Depth shows where things are; a voxel grid turns it into a 3D map of occupied vs. free space so the robot can decide where it can safely move. Demo video included, source code linked in the YouTube comments.
