OpenEyes: An open-source vision system for humanoid robots

I built OpenEyes - runs entirely on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano with full ROS2 integration.

Most robots are blind. Or dependent on cloud services that fail. Or so expensive only big companies can afford them.

OpenEyes gives robots: - Object detection (YOLO11n) - Depth estimation (MiDaS) - Face & gesture recognition (MediaPipe) - Pose estimation - Person following (show to become the owner) 30 FPS on edge. No cloud. No data leaves the device.

It's my attempt at answering: "Why can't i built a robot in my backyard"

Would love feedback from the HN community.
