I want to replace the brains of the robot vacuum cleaner with a raspberry, maybe add a camera. The task is for the robot to be able to build a map of the room and know where it has already been, and not ride randomly.
I want to start with already finished projects. Is there open source raspberry software for such projects?

Answer 1

The “brains” of a vacuum cleaner are a bunch of everything at once, wheel drivers, sensor control circuit, charging circuit, suction motor control, brush control, etc., all this is placed on one large board.
therefore, in addition to raspberries, you will need to install a bunch of other boards that will control the vacuum cleaner.

Answer 2

Google "lidar", they are used in vacuum cleaner robots, they build maps
And even MK can handle this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkW55b-WQx4
