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. Sketch of the robot arm

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.
