A project log for Cueball: A Life-Sized Pool Playing Robot

In this project, a robot is being constructed from basic components that will be able to challenge human players to a game of pool.

Over the last few months I have been working on new ways to detect objects in an image. I have recently created a software agent that applies bio-inspired search algorithms to identify subsets of images that contain contrast values of a pre-specified utility. The program works, and was written in Python, however it contains a major bug. Details will be released in the near future. Plans to release this agent will be delayed and are contingent upon the status of the bug(s). The idea of translating the software end of this project into a "crowd developed" project are under consideration.

The majority of work is in research and development of this robot. Most of my efforts are in developing a novel game agent, and developing a highly functional object recognition suite.
