A.U.R.A — Autonomous Universal Robotic Assistant

A.U.R.A is a small autonomous rover. It can sense, think, and move. The goal is a simple, safe robot you can extend. Code uses a src/ layout with Python and uv.

Planned features

• Mobility: forward/turn/stop, basic waypoint follow, e-stop.
• Obstacle avoidance: ultrasonic + camera checks in the control loop.
• Vision: room awareness, target/marker detection (basic first).
• Speech I/O: wake word, short voice commands, clear spoken replies.
• Local STT path: start simple; allow switching engines later.
• Action tools: LLM-triggered commands with strict safety gates.
• Power handling: separate logic/motor supplies; low-voltage cutoffs.
• Telemetry & logs: sensor stream, run logs, simple dashboard later.
• Config profiles: JSON/TOML for hardware pins, speeds, thresholds.
• Dev environment: uv for deps; optional Docker for reproducible runs.
• Sim (later): minimal sandbox to test control without hardware.
