Player Profile
Designing intelligent robotic systems, autonomous platforms, and full-stack applications at the crossroads of hardware and artificial intelligence. 3rd Place — TUT AI Week Competition.
I'm Gift Lekgothoane — a robotics and AI engineer with a passion for building intelligent systems that bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. From autonomous robots navigating complex environments to smart embedded systems running on edge hardware.
My work spans ROS2 navigation stacks, computer vision applications with OpenCV and deep learning, ESP32-based IoT networks, and full-stack web/mobile applications.
When I'm not building robots, I'm contributing to open-source, writing about embedded AI, or tinkering with the latest hardware.
Autonomous systems with ROS2, Jetson Nano, and mobile robotics platforms
Computer vision pipelines using OpenCV, TensorFlow, and MediaPipe
ESP32, Arduino, and Linux-based edge computing systems
React, Next.js, React Native applications and APIs

Robotics
This project implements a smart library management platform for Tshwane University of Technology that combines a full web-based library system with robotics, AI assistants, RFID tracking, and real-time communication. It automates everyday library tasks—catalog browsing, borrowing, fines, reservations, and reporting—while extending the experience with an autonomous delivery robot, voice control, hand-gesture commands, and intelligent help for students and staff. When a user requests a book or needs guidance, the system can search the catalog, update loans, notify members, and optionally dispatch the library robot to navigate shelves and study tables. AI chat, research search, and voice layers answer questions in natural language and connect to the same library data and robot services.
Whether you need an autonomous robot, a smart embedded system, or a full-stack application — I'm here to help turn your vision into reality.
