Introduction

We’re building a robot that can travel across all sorts of terrain, from smooth plains to hilly landscapes, while creating detailed 3D maps of the area. Our robot isn’t just about mapping the ground—it’s also equipped to measure temperature, humidity, and air quality, giving a full picture of the environment.

At the heart of our robot is the ESP32 microcontroller, which handles all the data processing and control tasks. We’re using MG946R servo motors to ensure our robot can move smoothly and adapt to different terrains.

This project is all about combining cool tech and practical applications. By the end, we aim to have a robot that’s not only a great mapper but also a valuable tool for anyone interested in environmental monitoring.

Documentation

Sphinx with reStructuredText

Sphinx was used to generate these docs.

Contributing

Anything inside of the Topographic-Robot is free and open source. You can find the source code in various repositories on the organization. Any issue or feature request can be posted on the GitHub issue tracker for their corresponding repository. Internally, Jira is used to manage features, issues, sprints, the backlog, and many other things. This means not everything on Jira will be attached to GitHub. However, all of the code documentation and the progression of development will be shown.

License

Everything within the organization is released under the MIT License. If there is a repository that includes a different license, such as a library that’s not internally made by us, then that license takes precedence. If there is ever a repository that is made by us and doesn’t explicitly include a license, then know it is still released under the MIT License.
