OOMWOO, a build-it-yourself open-source robot vacuum, has reached 13.1k stars and 824 forks on GitHub.
Key facts:
- Built on Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP32 and ROS2, with a 3D-printed chassis
- Uses an affordable 2D LiDAR for mapping and autonomous navigation (SLAM)
- Runs fully local with no cloud dependency or vendor lock-in, integrates with Home Assistant
- Apache-2.0 licensed, with BOM and tutorials; not fully buildable yet — simulation available today
The poster also laments that vendors have stopped making pure vacuum robots, with new models bundling mediocre mopping.
