ERP Robot Camera Tracking

This is a demo of my ERP robot doing basic middle mass camera tracking.

It's not entirely perfected yet, but shows how it can work in uncontrolled lighting.

I'm using the Blackfin robot camera with my Axon microcontroller.

can you build a robot like this with a webcam so I can ship this off to india where my workers can consult the head and I can see them while they work while I am here in america???

[palmisano]

@StandardAI Yes, that is possible (and for me, easy). =P

That robot design is very cool...the head movements are very raptor like. The sound is cool too...was that intentional?

I'm a newbie and have been studying your site...planning to build my first robot. The best tutorial site out there! Thank you very much!

[palmisano]

Nope, the sound was definitely not intentional!

how do u make the robot arm please tell me

[palmisano]

you go to google and type 'robot arm tutorial' =P

I want to purchase this Pikachu.

who calls palmisano as fake...he must be mad...this man is a genius ...

The BlackFin does all vision processing, and then transmits the centroid coordinates of the blob to my Axon microcontroller.

Are you doing the processing for blob identification on the board of the Backfin or externally (I see you have it tethered with what appears to be a programmer)? The backfin's manual says it has a 500 mhz processor with basic algorithms for blob identification built in.
