I got started on a new project a week or so ago, the goal at first is to follow me around my neighborhood (just for fun). After that it will do a search and rescue task, in the woods and urban enviorments. As of this post, I have the chassis made (still a few problems), the color tracking code finished (written in processing 1.0) and have some other stuff hooked up (as seen in pictures below)
So what is in this robot?
Well, we are having a whole computer in it. The computer is doing all the image tracking, maping, and much more. The specs of the computer is a 2.0 ghz cpu, 1gb ram, and a unknown video card. I know that is over kill for what it has to do, but I had the parts in my closet, so why not?
What am I going to add:
I am going to add 1 ultrasonic rage finder, so it can figure out how close it is to the object it is following, I am adding a few tempurature features in the robot to make sure it stays cool and doesn’t over heat.
