I’m starting a new build-in-public project: oomwoo, an open-source robot vacuum you build yourself. Raspberry Pi, ROS 2, 2D LiDAR, Home Assistant, 3D printed, local-first — and open from the first commit.

    You can tell it’s a genuine high-quality open-source project because the name sucks

      About the name: “oomwoo” is a rotational ambigram — it reads the same flipped 180°, just like the robot itself roaming your floor in every direction.

      There was an attempt.

        Now we need to invent a recursive acronym for this name and it would be perfect

      Robot vacuum designers are limited to using only the “o” vowel. That’s just the way it is.

        It’s like carcinization, all robot vacuum names eventually become “voov”

        OOMWOO just sounds like a fake AliExpress brand.
