LeROBOT — Japanese Robot Refurbishment
Source orphaned Japanese industrial arms (no controller, no license) from Yahoo Auctions Japan, then rebuild the control stack with Zynq FPGA, STMBL/ODrive servo drives, Godot digital twins, and Hugging Face LeRobot for AI-driven manipulation.
- Godot digital twin + URDF export
- Hugging Face LeRobot policy training
- Open-source servo drives (STMBL / ODrive)
- KiCad → JLCPCB controller PCBs
- Partner-school curriculum
Autonomous Small Vehicle
A compact AVR testbed for navigation, SLAM, sensor fusion, obstacle avoidance, and control loops. Lessons learned here feed into the broader CGG robotics program and student training.
