bob-ros

Inspiration

We're all members of SPEAR and we wanted to try a smaller scale project under a 24 hour time limit.

What it does

Drives, turns Avoids objects with photo sensors Detects squares seen on a live webcam using shape recognition software

How we built it

We used lego Mindstorms to build the actual robot, and we coded it in C++ and Python. We also used ROS, and opencv to send commands and detect objects with a camera.

Challenges we ran into

Raspberry Pi gave us nothing but trouble

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

Opencv can not be learned well in under 24 hours

What's next for bob-ros

Facial detection, coordinate x-y navigation
