The final goal of MiniMe is the successful creation of a bipedal robot that can avoid obstacles on its own. First, a small biped will be built using an Arduino Uno. Subsequently, remote-control capabilities will be added to the Arduino biped. After this, a camera will be mounted to this biped, and using OpenCV and PyTorch, the biped will be able to detect, then avoid objects. Using Machine Learning, the Arduino biped will walk through open areas and avoid objects while identifying them. Once the code is fully functional on this biped, a 1.5-foot tall biped will be designed with CAD software and 3D printed. Further machine learning technology will be explored upon the completion of the final biped.

To track the tasks needed for this project, I used Python and the Plotly graphing library to create the Gantt chart below.
