My Final Project
Sketch
My first idea for a final project consists in a small robot arm that uses a camera and image recognition artificial inteligence to identify and physically track an objective.
This project is intended to demostrate the capabilities of computer vision and serve as a guide on how to create a system based on it. Here is the first 3D model of the design, developed as part of my week 2 assignment:
I plan to use open source computer vision code, two servomotors for the movement of the joints and a stepper motor for the movement of the base.
I am still deciding what microcontroller to use, since I want to have enough processing power to have smooth tracking and movement.
Here are some components that I am considering:
- ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board as my microcontroller board.
- OpenMV Cam H7 Plus as my camera and vision processor.
- DS3218 Servomotor for the movement of the arm.
- Nema 17 Stepper motor for the rotation of the base.
- A4988 Stepper Motor Driver for controlling the stepper motor.
