Computer On Wheels Controller

Hi guys,
 
 
 
Since last week, I've been learning c++ and openFrameworks and creating a application to control any robot with a computer on it or, at least connected to one by someway.
 
It is supposed to be simple to implement and use.
You just need to run the application and program your robot to read the following chars and act corresponding to them:
  • 'w' to move forward;
  • 's' to mo

Hi

I am selling my CMUcam3 (for more infos on the camera please check out http://www.cmucam.org/)

I would like to sell the camera for 90€,
I live in Ireland - so please ask beforehand for the shipping cost to your place.

Suggestions for TheBox

XicoMBD's picture

Hi,

Lately, I've been creating computer vision applications for my robot TheBox

I've created a color tracker, a motion detector and a wall avoider application.

But now I ran out of ideas. 

 

So, can you give me some cool ideas to make other applications? :)

Well, this is probably the simplest robot I've ever made. It is just this event's robot mounted in a old IBM box. I've built it just to serve as a testing platform … Read more

Just happened to find this on youtube. Is not by me, but is a cute video none the less so I thought I would share it:

Slightly more advanced LDR eye

Read this history first, if you have an hour to kill.

The challenge: make your bot rove around your house. Use no active beacons. Use observations by your bot only. Now, does your bot know where it is?

One possible answer: an eye and a brain.

Room Recognition

Each room in the house has a unique lighting situation. A simple eye that looks around in eight directions would "see" a pattern of light and dark segments. Each cell is connected to one ADC on your uC.

Rudimentary LDR eye

Old idea rekindled

This idea about very basic robot vision haunted me ever since I first saw AmandaLDR. Even before it was named after a canine. It's somewhat inspired by the evolution of the first eyes in nature: just a bunch of light sensitive cells on your rump.

Night vision camera

Hi, I've been thinking on building a night and day vision camera. I think its very straight forward, but I just wanted to have a look at your personal opinions before going any furtherer.

The idea is very simple: As you probably all know, digital cameras are able to "see" the visible spectrum, but also, some frequencies higher (I think), and lower. You can try this by pointing with a remote control to your camera, you will see a white light.
