Hi all,
I am Mohaned Essam from University of Technology PETRONAS, Malaysia.
This is the first blog post on my project book_carrying_robot , so I will start with a brief description.
the aim is to build a robot able to classify some objects (Books are used) based on colored labels.
The robot is then required to deliver these objects to a dynamic target point, specified by colored line on the ground, there maybe many different colored lines specifying various targets, then the robot chooses the required target based on the object to be delivered. the robot then uses the size of the target to indicate that it reached the target point, with a wider line maybe or an obstacle with a specific shape (Circle for example).
I will be using the Raspberry PI Kit, for the components in the Raspberry PI kit please refer to the amazing post by Benjamin Bonnal
The tools to be used in my project are:
- Raspberry PI 2 Model B
- Raspberry PI Camera Board
- Robot chassis
- IR Analogue distance sensor.
- Batteries and Power Bank.
The Software used:
- Matlab r2015a and Simulink
- putty software to run Raspberry PI terminal
The planning of my posts are as follows:
1- introduction
2- Install Matlab on Raspberry PI and video capture
3- Book label color detection.
4- Target color and size detection
5- Robot building.
6- trials
7- testing and optimization
