Rae follow me app available?

Is the code for the Rae followme app available outside of robothub?

Also, is there an example of SLAM using Rae cameras?

Hi, FollowMe App source code will be published this week as we are adding some new functionalities (ChatGPT example, microphone recording playback from the frontend and the frontend source code itself). Regarding SLAM capabilities we have some pure ROS examples available in the rae-ros repository, we are currently actively working to streamline/improve this integration to provide a simple mapping and navigation in the RAE SDK.

Great.

I noticed that the mic picks up a lot of room noise, which may be an issue for voice recognition. It looks like the resulting .wav file is about 8MB (for the set 30 second recording).

Using ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -I recording.wav -acodec mp3 test.mp3

Took about 3 seconds and reduced the file size to 500k

In mic.cpp saveToWav() - maybe this can save to mp3 (for off board processing), or send as a message via rae_msgs/msg/RAEAudio.

Maybe then eq to eliminate the background noise.

As far as SLAM, there is this with no detail yet: but looks like you are working on this.
