How OOMWOO cleaning algorithms work
Here are issues we've ran into building OOMWOO open-source vacuum's cleaning, mapping and navigation - and our solutions.

OOMWOO Headless Sim for LLM Agents
A concise, copy-paste quickstart for running the OOMWOO robot vacuum entirely headless (no display) — aimed at LLM coding agents, CI, and automation. Every command below is verified against the makerspet/oomwoo:jazzy-dev Docker image (last re-verified 9 Aug 2026). No X…
Write Your First OOMWOO ROS 2 Package: Cover the Floor While Mapping
This is the “hello world” of developing for OOMWOO. It’s deliberately simple — a reactive “drive forward, turn when blocked” coverage that, combined with SLAM, maps and roughly covers a room. Proper boustrophedon coverage is the clean-and-map RFC; this teaches…
Simulate OOMWOO-One Robot Vacuum in Gazebo with ROS 2
OOMWOO is an open-source robot vacuum you build yourself. oomwoo-one is the first model. This tutorial gets its ROS 2 simulation running in Gazebo so you can develop mapping, navigation, and cleaning behaviours with no hardware — everything runs in…
Simulate the Proscenic M6 Pro robot vacuum in Gazebo with ROS 2
Run a full Proscenic M6 Pro vacuum simulation in Gazebo with the oomwoo ROS 2 image: SLAM mapping, autonomous Nav2 navigation, manual driving and bumper sensors — no hardware needed.
Building an Open-Source Robot Vacuum — Meet OOMWOO
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.
Demo: robot maps, navigates a living room in VR sim
Here are reels demonstrating a Kaia.ai home robot self-driving around the living room, creating a map of the room and navigating the room – all automatically. I have sped up the videos 4x. Demo: Snoopy self-drives, maps a living room…
Snoopy plays ball, hides, self-drives in VR sim
Watch Snoopy-the-pet-robot self-drive around a simulated living room, hide under the table (as in hide-and-seek), play ball and “prompt” humans to play.I sped up the videos 4x. This is fraction of what your robot will be able to do. The…
Tutorial: Map, navigate a 3D simulated room in ROS2 Gazebo
Here is a step-by-step tutorial creating a map of the room and navigating around the room using the newly-created map. The simulation runs in ROS2 Gazebo. I’m using here a Windows PC running ROS2 in a Docker container. You can…
Tutorial: Simulate Home Robot in 3D (ROS2 Gazebo)
Here is a step-by-step tutorial simulating Snoopy home robot in 3D VR using the Gazebo ROS2 simulator. I’m using here a Windows PC running ROS2 in a Docker container. You can use a Linux PC running Docker as well. If…
