+
+Autonomous curiosity behavior for SaltyBot — frontier exploration when idle.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Idle Detection**: Activates after >60s without people
+- **Frontier Exploration**: Random walk toward unexplored areas
+- **Sound Localization**: Turns toward detected sounds
+- **Object Interest**: Approaches colorful/moving objects
+- **Self-Narration**: TTS commentary during exploration
+- **Safety**: Respects geofence, avoids obstacles
+- **Auto-Timeout**: Returns home after 10 minutes
+- **Curiosity Level**: Configurable 0-1.0 activation probability
+
+## Launch
+
+```bash
+ros2 launch saltybot_curiosity curiosity.launch.py
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+- `curiosity_level`: 0.0-1.0 probability of exploring when idle (default: 0.7)
+- `idle_threshold_sec`: seconds of idle before activation (default: 60)
+- `exploration_max_duration_sec`: max exploration time in seconds (default: 600)
+- `exploration_radius_m`: search radius in meters (default: 5.0)
+- `pan_tilt_step_deg`: pan-tilt sweep step (default: 15)
+- `min_sound_activity`: sound detection threshold (default: 0.1)
+
+## Topics

+ * - Edit parameters with real-time validation (type checking, min/max ranges)
+ * - Display metadata: type, range, description, is_safety flag
+ * - Load named presets (indoor/outdoor/demo/debug)
+ * - Safety confirmation for critical parameters
+ * - Persist parameter overrides
+ * - Visual feedback for modified parameters
+ * - Reset to defaults option
