Feasibility of Writing an Autonomous Stack for a 450-Pound 4WD Robot Using LLM and ROS

A developer is building an autonomous stack for a 450 4WD robot with an approximately 80kW drivetrain, using dual NVIDIA Orin AGX units to run vision and LLM respectively, equipped with lidar, depth cameras, and a ReSpeaker microphone array, controlling motors via Teensy 4.1, with the goal of running on local offline voice commands. The project has already consumed billions of tokens, and the main concern is the difficulty of finding a safe testing site; heat dissipation becomes an issue after the electronics are packed into a 12"×4", 18-inch-long aluminum tube.
