Entwicklung einer KI-gestützten Objekterkennung zur Navigation der autonomen Plattform Turtlebot 4

A YOLOv8 model was trained to detect fire extinguishers and integrated into the TurtleBot 4 platform, enabling real‑time object recognition. Two deployment strategies were evaluated: processing on the onboard Raspberry Pi, which proved too slow, and leveraging the OAK‑D‑PRO camera’s on‑chip inference, which delivered a substantial performance boost. Additionally, a laser‑scan based navigation algorithm was implemented, allowing the robot to autonomously explore unknown environments.
