$80 LiDAR and RDK X5 build a real-time robotics system

An $80 LiDAR. An RDK X5. And a whole lot of possibilities.

What started with distance sensing has evolved into a real-time robotics system capable of:

✅ Tracking people and objects
✅ Predicting movement and potential collisions
✅ Finding safe paths around obstacles
✅ Generating steering commands
✅ Visualizing the environment in 3D

All running directly on the RDK X5, from LiDAR processing and path planning to GPIO-based hardware control.

This is what happens when makers push affordable hardware.
