Instructables
sometimes drops a "pearl before swine" article that is
well worth the read. Author GregF10 has written a series of four
Instructables that describe an indoor rover using a Rpi and Pololu
A-star 32U4 microcontroller. Main sensors are an IMU (mostly gyro)
and a LidarLite v3. The articles are organized by: overview, locomotion,
localization, and navigation.

The navigation article has a really interesting discussion about the use of the LiDAR sensor. The articles are well written and worth your time to investigate. Regards,Doug P.
