Build a fully local, open‑source robot vacuum with OOMWOO

Description and use

OOMWOO lets you build a fully local, open‑source robot vacuum that maps and navigates on-device with Raspberry Pi, 2D LiDAR, and ROS2, integrating natively with Home Assistant while preserving privacy.

Problem

Need a privacy‑preserving, autonomous robot vacuum that can navigate and map without relying on cloud services.

Outcome

The OOMWOO project enables a fully local, open‑source robot vacuum that performs autonomous navigation and mapping on-device, preserving privacy and integrating seamlessly with Home Assistant.

Workflow

• Design and 3D‑print the chassis and mounting brackets
• Assemble Raspberry Pi, 2D LiDAR, motors, and power supply
• Install ROS2 and configure the OOMWOO software stack
• Calibrate sensors and test SLAM mapping
• Integrate with Home Assistant via MQTT or REST API
• Deploy and run the robot vacuum in a home environment

Evidence

Build a fully local, open-source robot vacuum with OOMWOO, a DIY project combining 3D-printed hardware, Raspberry Pi, and 2D LiDAR. It performs autonomous navigation and mapping directly on-device using ROS2, maintaining privacy by avoiding cloud reliance while integrating natively with Home Assistant.
