In this episode, Milos upgrades his open-source PlatypusBot into Perry the PlatypusBot, transforming a simple Arduino-based rover into a full ROS2-powered robotics platform. He explains how the motor encoders work, implements PID control for precise movement, and connects an Arduino Uno R4 WiFi to a Raspberry Pi 4B running ROS2 Humble for real-time command and control. With a 3D-printed fedora and a name inspired by community feedback, Perry now moves, turns, and responds to ROS commands, laying the groundwork for future additions like sensors, LIDAR, and SLAM: bit.ly/4hXD40Z
