vector-python-sdk VS PythonRobotics

I don't want to dispel your ideas about Vector because I like that a robot can elicit such human fondness and responses, but we know for a fact they can't recognise each other. The neural net model for that is simply not programmed in their computer vision systems, this is easily verified by running the SDK with annotated viewer from the examples/tutorials where you can see exactly what Vector recognises. You will see it recognises faces (and things that vaguely look like faces which is why it will stare at random stuff sometimes), the charger, and the cube. It has no way to amend these vision models, though some people have done fun work to fix that using the SDK. But I can understand how people can pick up on the idea that they can "see" each other.

Good luck, here's a link to the script.

There is this Vector SDK that was written by Anki before they went under and there are a lot of forks on that repo on Github. Check here https://developer.anki.com/vector/docs for the documentation and here for the repo and the forks of that repo https://github.com/anki/vector-python-sdk. I've seen for myself different people have implemented different machine learning program on their Vectors (however, not that the program is not permanent as in once you stop the execution of your code, Vector will return to its normal self). Here is one example of that https://www.learnwitharobot.com/p/use-my-vector-sdk-to-allow-your-vector?s=r. This guy managed to train a neural network to recognize other Vectors. About its boundary, Vector does have a smart phone level CPU.

As far as I know, only Vector is programmable with the SDK in python.

I usually start here: https://github.com/AtsushiSakai/PythonRobotics , but I'm not sure how much is extended to 3D off the top of my head.

Code is on github. You could try to start with the main method here: https://github.com/AtsushiSakai/PythonRobotics/blob/master/PathPlanning/AStar/a_star.py

Also another good source of material https://atsushisakai.github.io/PythonRobotics/

Look into the following source. Its not implemented in ROS but there are examples of implementation of Robotics algorithms in python. From there it should be easy to implement them in ROS after you understand how ROS work. https://atsushisakai.github.io/PythonRobotics/

This was partly inspired by PythonRobotics (which I love!). However, I don't want this repo to become a huge collection of unorganized algorithms. I want the focus to be on quality over quantity. At the same time, I don't want this repo to be only "educational". While I want to include as many examples as possible for educational (and documentation) purpose, I want this library to be fast so that it can be used in practical applications.
