A Zumi Bot is a buildable self-driving car that contains a Zumi board, Pi 0, microSD card, Pi camera, motors, wheels, OLED screen, and battery. Its structural components include a chassis, mounting bracket, and Zumi shell, and it is fastened using bolts, screws, pluts, and sockets. Other components of the Bot include jumper wires, heatsink, and velcro pads.
After building the Zumi bot, we trained our Zumi to recognize colors using color cards. The Zumi's camera is able to analyze different colors and label them correctly when showed a sufficient number of examples. We then coded the Zumi to go in the opposite direction of certain colors, such as red and yellow. This trains the Zumi to be helpful in a fire, because it would be able to avoid areas on fire and navigate to safer locations. We were able to code our Zumi so that is successfully detected red and yellow and was able to avoid them by turning aroud.
We had help from group 13 on our code to detect fire. They helped us with syntax and showed us a different way that worked better than what we were originally attempting.Â
