Capstone Project: Humanoid Robot in Action

Objective

Integrate all modules (Physical AI Foundations, ROS 2, Simulation, and VLA) into a single coherent system. The robot should be able to perceive the environment, interpret commands, and perform actions.

Components

1. Voice Agent: Converts voice commands into text.
2. VLA Module: Processes visual input and command text to generate robot actions.
3. ROS 2 Nodes: Execute actions on the robot (simulation or real).
4. Simulation Environment: Test robot behavior safely in Gazebo, Unity, or Isaac Sim.

Workflow

1. User speaks a command.
2. Voice agent converts speech to text.
3. VLA module generates a structured robot command.
4. ROS 2 nodes execute the command.
5. Simulation environment visualizes the outcome.

Independent Test

• Give a voice command and verify the robot performs the intended action in simulation.
