        The building of the robot, started as a very beautiful dream, where the robot detects the ball and plays with it.

INTENT

        To make the robot an autonomous intelligent system by implementing the features like

  • Robot Vision
  • Object Tracking
  • Robot Progression

PROJECT HYPOTHESIS

• Robot Base Design
• Robot Eye
• Program to control the Robot
• Program to control the Eye of the Robot
• Wireless enabled features to transfer data in and out of the computer program
• Program to detect the ball and advance the robot towards it

PROJECT SKETCH

         The first module concentrates on the robot’s vision. The image has to be grasped from the video stream with the help of the camera and stored in a picture mode.

        The second module uses the java application to detect the ball and find the angle in which the ball lies.

         The third module is the robot progression, and it depends upon the first and second module. This program is developed with C, C++ and the control for the robot is transferred with the help of the parallel port.

More features to be added soon..
