    Mila and Polytechnique Montréal team open-source ~$2,000 robot guide dog Milo, built on Unitree Go2 for autonomous indoor and outdoor navigation

    Mila-Quebec AI Institute and a Polytechnique Montréal team have released Milo, an open-source robot guide dog that they say can cut the roughly $50,000 cost of a guide dog to about $2,000. The hardware base is a Unitree Go2 Air/Pro plus an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano; a magnetic-encoder telescoping handle is used to inversely solve the user's 3D position, a bird's-eye-view map is built first and then a navigation policy is run, and the policy is trained in about 10 minutes in GPU-accelerated simulation and deployed zero-shot on the real robot.

    Why it matters: The original article fully breaks down Milo's perception, policy training, and real-world testing details, so readers can reuse its engineering trade-offs in their own navigation projects.
