Dock automatically when battery drops below 20%
Monitor battery voltage or SoC, cancel the current task, and navigate home to a docking station before the robot bricks mid-mission.
TurtleBot 3/4Yahboom/Hiwonder ROS2Unitree GoPi DIY differential drive
Nothing kills a home-robot demo faster than a dead battery under the couch. This kit listens to a battery topic (or a simple ADC on Pi DIY), thresholds at ~20%, preempts active goals, and sends the robot to a fixed dock pose. On platforms with IR/contact docks, it finishes with a short align script; otherwise it stops on a marked charging pad and waits for you.
Curated seed / example based on common ROS 2 battery + dock patterns for TurtleBot and hobby quads.
Safety: never leave a charging robot unattended until you've validated current draw and dock alignment.
