Sensing technologies enable robots to assess and interact dynamically with their environment. How does it influence robotic perception?
Pixy2 and Pixy2 Pan & Tilt are now available on RobotShop
Camera and Vision sensors are becoming more and more popular lately. People find them useful and incorporate them into all kinds of projects that require vision and image processing. With a good algorithm and a powerful processor, these small jewels of technology can detect colors, shapes, faces an…
Roborealm has an interesting tutorial on using machine vision for obstacle avoidance in ground-based vehicles. The tutorial shows a series of image processing steps which can be chained together to detect the "highest" point in an image, based on the ground color. Presumably, that high…
Kinect@Home Discerning shapes and recognizing objects takes humans several years to learn and it is an essential skill to survive and interact with the world around us. Machines also need to learn this important skill and although some researchers have made progress in recognizing objects, shap
