General Meeting Update 2026-10-16

This update focuses on development of the Nanobot autonomous mobile platform using AprilTags, local AI agents, and NVIDIA edge computing. The system now supports separate camera, AprilTag, and agent operating modes to manage limited onboard memory. AprilTag testing demonstrated real-time tag identification and distance measurements that closely matched physical tape measurements. Current work is exploring teach-and-repeat navigation using multiple fiducial landmarks, heading estimation, wheel-encoder feedback, and stereo vision to improve localization between tags. A locally hosted Qwen3 4B model running through Ollama is also being tested as a meta-agent for tool selection, workspace operations, route-planning assistance, and future autonomous system development.
