  • Book Carrying Robot #2 Matlab installation on Raspberry PI and video capture

    As a start, I installed Matlab on my PC together with the Raspberry PI support Package , following the instructions posted by Madhu Govindarajan in the first post of his blog posts. The Raspberry PI is then connected to the camera board, LAN cable and…
  • Book Carrying Robot #1 Introduction to the project

    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…
  • Book Carrying Robot #8 Trials and future development

    I described all aspects of my software and hardware design in my previous post . in this post I will just show some of my trials, comment on them, and suggest possible future development. the path is made to be a bit noisy (not so straight) to show that…
  • Book Carrying Robot #7 Practical considerations and debugging

    After I showed my software design in this post , my hardware design in this post , and that I got some output in this post . I started to test my robot on actual tasks, that's when I figured out some bugs in my code, also I had to change some parameters…
  • Book Carrying Robot #6 GPIO Motor control circuit schematics

    after I explained about the software part of my design in my previous post , I would like to describe an important yet very simple interface circuit that I use to control my motors. The circuit schematic is shown in this image: the GPIO pins 23 and 24…
  • Book Carrying Robot #5 How to setup MATLAB and Simulink to run a standalone Image Processing script on Raspberry PI using Raspberry PI Camera

    I showed in my previous post that I was able to run a standalone user defined MATLAB script on Raspberry PI, that can take images from Raspberry PI Camera and control two motors using GPIO pins. In this Post I will explain how to this, so please refer…
  • Book Carrying Robot #4 Standalone complete code Running on Raspberry PI

    I have been able to complete my program that can identify the robot path using colored paper or stickers. the code is done in normal MATLAB coding similar to my previous posts. I thought I would rather show my results first, then explain about my methodology…
  • Book Carrying Robot #3 color detection and calibration algorithm

    After installing Matlab with Raspberry PI as shown in my previous post I show a simple algorithm for color detection and calibration on Matlab and implement that on Raspberry PI. this is the first step for the robot to detect it's route which is marked…
