Really cool that you're getting into ROS to bring your robotics projects to the next level. Learning ROS was tough but has allowed me to do some things I never thought I'd be able to with my projects; definitely worth the effort to learn

James, we need to address the robotic elephant in the room. The mandatory 80s robot naming convention. Really Useful AI Robot? R.U.A.R? We can do better. Since it goes with R.O.S, might I suggest the Functional Roaming AI Sidekick Interactive Everyday Robot. Or F.R.A.S.I.E.R But seriously, this looks awesome. I can definitely see future videos where you're working on projects with FRASIER assisting.

I don't know what to say, I am just pumped to see your videos. You are summing up months of process in one video and I always pause and ponder about how you have made a particular design choice. You would have faced so many errors. It will be fascinating if you can compile a video on error or design problems that you have encountered and how and why you arrived at a particular solution.

Hey, I'm loving this more gnc focused content. You might be interested in checking out MIT Kimera software. From what I understand it's an open source system. It does localization and mapping as well as object determination for the generated map. I don't know a lot about it but it might be useful for you.

Very clever design.

The scanning unit reminds me of the terminator entering the bar back in the days

Good job!!

I was going to comment and suggest that the arm moves up and down.. But watching the video shows you planned just that! Consider a stepper or similar in the base and lifting/lowering the arm using a belt running up to the top and back down. It'll reduse the amount of weight you can pick up(And will 'fall' if power fails) but will allow for quite quick lifting/lowering as well as keep the mass at the top quite low when the arm(s) are in the lower position. We've had problems with casters like that causing problems when you go from forward to reverse as the casters 'flip' around and cause a jolt, but your designs are always flexible and modular enough that if this is a problem you can fix it.

Yes I'll probably go for a belt drive so that the top isn't too heavy. I'm considering a gearbox with a worm gear stage so it doesn't fall down.

You should build a robot pool cleaner that is actually good

If I want to scale this robot down a bit, what would be the best way to do it? I would need to scale it down to 300mm in diameter. Would that leave enough space to mount all the electronics? Would 300mm diameter be too small for this robot? I realize I would have to make some changes to accommodate different motors and electronics.

You know, James… I absolutely love your robot stuff to bits. Really great stuff. But VR is gaining quite a bit of notice right now. (Especially social VR experiences like VRChat.) And I bet that VR is extremely compatible with machine learning and image recognition. The problem, is that VR, and even full body tracking, is a bit expensive. How do you feel about slapping together a quick miracle of engineering for cheap, that people can use with existing VR software? I'm only half joking. VR really is gaining interest. People might be interested in VR related content, even if it doesn't solve a problem. Maybe you could even turn a schematic for one of your robots into an avatar that you could either sell or give away for free advertising. Just throwing the idea out there… If this grabs your interest really hard, but you're worried about lack of skills in avatar rigging and lack of time to learn, you could probably pretty easily find an existing artist to give your robot some spit and polish with speech sound animations and emotes.
