A school project that turned into a real rescue robot — built for Arduino Day 2026 with civil protection in mind.
LagmaBills started as a class project at IIS Galileo Galilei in Crema, built around a simple question: in an emergency, what does a small team of first responders actually need eyes and hands for? The answer became three linked agents in one platform — a ground rover that can reach a debris field, a robotic arm that can move what people shouldn't have to, and a drone that can see what the rover can't. "Land, Ground & Midair Agent" isn't just a tagline, it's the literal division of labour.
Real emergency scenes don't come with reliable WiFi. That's why every brain LagmaBills needs — navigation, voice AI, mapping — runs locally on the Raspberry Pi and the two onboard ESP32s. The only thing that ever leaves the robot is a Tailscale link back to the operator, and even that's optional: the robot can navigate and avoid obstacles entirely on its own.
Built as coursework at IIS Galileo Galilei, Crema — combining networking, programming and electronics curricula into one working machine.
Designed with real rescue scenarios in mind: debris removal, area surveillance and remote inspection where sending a person first isn't safe.
Firmware, PCB schematics and the control app are all public on GitHub under the MIT License — fork it, build it, improve it.
