I’m starting a new build-in-public project: oomwoo, an open-source robot vacuum you build yourself. Raspberry Pi, ROS 2, 2D LiDAR, Home Assistant, 3D printed, local-first — and open from the first commit.
While this is a cool idea, if you read the article, it’s only an idea. Seems like nothing but a reference design has actually been made. Hoping to see it progress, but we shall see.
Yeah, over the years I’ve learned to not hold my breath about any interesting announcement. Though I’m at the point now where I don’t really care either way and feel like pointing it out for any specific project just feels overly pessimistic. Just let them cook or contribute knowing there’s never a guarantee it’ll come to fruition.

Concept of a vacuum.
