XROVER5 Autonomous Color Tracking Robot Chasing RC car Lynxmotion
Chapter 4: Using the BOF for car detection and tracking emotion.inrialpes.fr
I recorded this incase the car decided it hates me and refuses to work during class. A simple project from class of a car just having to follow a black line. It uses an infrared emitter and 2 photo transistors (connected to a simple passive low-pass filter) to detect black and white. The microcontroller reads this data in from the ADC.
This is another itereation of the Lynxmotion Rover robot using a CMUcam2+ and Basic Atom Pro microcontroller. You can see it has improved tracking abilities now however it still looses track of the object on occasion. Future improvments will be for Rover to scan for the object with both the pan/tilt head as well as spinning/driving looking for it’s target. Will also get improved speed when I upgrate to 12V battery.
