GenPRo: General Purpose Robot

Introduction

GenPRo is a project dedicated to making General Purpose Robots (GenPRo) accessible to everyone. We believe that the future is one where robots are not just tools for industry, but integral parts of our daily lives. Whether it's assisting with household chores, providing companionship, or aiding in professional tasks, GenPRo aims to create versatile embodied-AI robots that can be adapted to a wide range of needs.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world where everyone can benefit from the capabilities of General Purpose Robots(GenPRo). We strive to break down barriers to entry, making it easy for developers, hobbyists, and everyday users to interact with and utilize robotic technology.

Key Features

• Open Source: We believe in the power of community. That's why GenPRo is open source, allowing anyone to contribute, modify, and improve the robots.
• User-Friendly: Whether you're a seasoned developer or a beginner, GenPRo is designed to be easy to use. Our intuitive interfaces and comprehensive documentation make it accessible to all.
• Versatility: GenPRo robots can be programmed for a variety of tasks, from simple automation to complex problem-solving. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
• Modularity: GenPRo robots are designed with modularity in mind. This means you can easily customize and upgrade components to suit your specific needs.

Getting Started

Hardware Requirements

To get started with GenPRo, you'll need the following hardware components:
