ROBOT image processing machine learning Nueral network development camera

This project was created on 10/07/2016 and last updated 8 years ago.

Description

The object of this project is to design a low cost robotic platform that we can use to experiment (see our application section) with. To start with, we are going to development a autonomous robot capable of taking inputs from various external sensors including an on-board camera module. The robot will have a WIFI module which could potential be used to interact with its siblings, provide feedback to a master node or even a mean to re-program the robot via a bootloader. It will have a driver system that will allow it to move around its environment. It will also have on board battery which will allow it run untethered.# Application we going to explore- Swarm interaction- interactive learning &#x2013; (neural networks)- Alternative Image techniques (Inversion)# Live stream Episodes2) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://youtu.be/4LoXFc5rlrs1">https://youtu.be/4LoXFc5rlrs1</a>)

  • Live #3 Hey up! Robots in the making

    Ronald Sousa • 12/06/2017 at 14:16 • 0 comments

    This stream covers the followng:

    1. test the timing belts as well as the motor. 

    2. Find a smaller lithium battery

    3. Clone the project files

    4. Talk about what I'm going to do on the next stream

  • Live #2 Hey up! Robots in the making

    Ronald Sousa • 11/30/2017 at 14:51 • 0 comments

    Here's the second live stream of the project. In this stream I made changes to the robot back axial and dummy wheel and talked about why I'm going to be using timing belts for the robots tracks.

  • I'm live streaming the making of the robots

    Ronald Sousa • 11/29/2017 at 22:34 • 0 comments

    Good news, I've started live streaming the making of the micro robots.

    Here's the video to the first live stream I did a few weeks back. In it I introduced the project, made some changes to the tracks and test the motors.

Are you ever going to post any instructions or anything? How expensive was it? What parts did you use?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Ronald Sousa wrote 11/29/2017 at 22:13 • point

Hi @mrmolamola  I wasn't planning on posting instruction just yet. Instead I'm doing live stream of me working on the project.

I figured that when the project was done (or at least good enough), that I would then write up some official build instructions.

  Are you sure? yes | no
