Building an Open-Source Robot Vacuum — Meet OOMWOO - Makers Pet

external-link
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.

    You can tell it’s a genuine high-quality open-source project because the name sucks

      About the name: “oomwoo” is a rotational ambigram — it reads the same flipped 180°, just like the robot itself roaming your floor in every direction.

      There was an attempt.

        OOMWOO just sounds like a fake AliExpress brand.

        It’s called OOMWOO in all caps dude. My idea is, call it literally anything else. Also I’m getting one

          The name apparently is a rotational ambigram. I would have sworn it was a transdimensional mammogram

          Something much better like eufy? Or roomba?

          I think it’s a law that robot vacuums must be named something silly.
