My First Open-Source Robotics Project: AutoSweepCrowdNav 🚀

Hi everyone! 👋

This is my first post on DEV, so I thought I'd introduce myself by sharing the project I've been spending most of my time building.

I'm an M.Tech student interested in AI, robotics, software engineering, and open source. I enjoy tackling challenging engineering problems and learning by building.

Over the past few months, I've been working on AutoSweepCrowdNav, an open-source project focused on human-aware autonomous navigation for robotic floor cleaning.

Some of the ideas I'm currently exploring include:

Human-aware navigation in dynamic environments

Safety margin and intrusion detection

Autonomous area coverage (lawnmower sweep)

Crowd interaction and collision avoidance

Temporary retreat planning when the robot gets blocked

ROS 2 and robotics simulation

The project is still evolving, and I'm constantly experimenting with new ideas and improving the algorithms.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or feedback—especially from anyone interested in robotics, AI, or autonomous systems.

Looking forward to learning from the DEV community and contributing along the way! 🚀
