Vision
Object recognition and scene understanding through an onboard camera, feeding decisions back to the movement and arm systems.
Autonomous companion robot — in development
NEXUS
Networked Exploration and eXpressive Utility System
A ground-up robotics build: computer vision, dual arms, obstacle-aware movement, and a face that actually expresses something. Built one subsystem at a time, documented as it happens.

BUILD PHASE
PROTOTYPE
What NEXUS is built to do
Movement
Autonomous navigation with ultrasonic obstacle detection, built for a small footprint that can operate in a home.
Arms & grippers
Two articulated arms with lightweight hands, sized for real pick-and-place tasks rather than demos.
Expression
A screen face and voice output, so status and intent are readable at a glance instead of hidden in logs.
Currently in the prototyping phase
NEXUS is a long-term build, not a weekend project. Right now the chassis, drive system, and account platform are being worked out in parallel — hardware on one track, software on another, meeting in the middle at a shared command protocol.
