LagmaBills is an open-source rescue and surveillance robot — fully autonomous ground navigation, debris handling arm, and integrated drone for aerial reconnaissance. Built for real civil protection scenarios.
Fully distributed architecture — no single point of failure. All processing runs locally on a Raspberry Pi 4B with ESP32 subsystems connected via I²C and MQTT.
4 mecanum wheels with quadrature encoders. Full omni-directional movement: strafe, rotate, diagonal — potential field autonomous avoidance.
Details →MG996R + SG90 servos controlled via PCA9685. Debris removal, object manipulation, relay-activated water pump for firefighting.
Details →ESP-Drone companion controlled via CRTP/UDP. Automatic landing watchdog, MQTT bridge, aerial surveillance on demand.
Details →Custom wakeword "Hey Nova" → OpenWakeWord ONNX → Whisper STT → Ollama LLM → Piper TTS. Fully local, zero latency.
Meet Nova →Bayesian occupancy grid from 4 HC-SR04 sensors + encoder odometry. Live GPS track on Leaflet.js web dashboard.
Details →.NET MAUI app for Windows and Android. Dual joysticks, arm sliders, drone control, camera stream — all over Tailscale.
Download →All firmware, Python modules, PCB schematics (KiCad), and the MAUI app are available on GitHub.
