An off-board camera sign follower robot was made for competition "Pixelate" held at Techfest, IIT-Bombay in 2015. This competition was my first implementation of Image Processing concepts!
Problem Statement:
Teams have to build a bot that works on the principle of image processing.
The bot has to identify the path to reach the end line by processing the images of various shapes and finally reach the end line in minimum possible time.
Components Used:
Radio Frequency Module for interface between bot and Laptop wirelessly.
Off board camera attached on ceiling of the arena.
Arduino nano to interface Matlab with the bot.
Tools Used:
Matlab 2013 to perform image processing like Real time robot tracking, Shape and Color identification and send commands to perform tasks like controlling different LED on the bot (Not visible in the attached video).
Arduino IDE to provide interface between Arduino nano and Matlab.
