Cup recognition for cup lifting robot


So I'm going on to improve my robot and hopefully he'll become far more advanced but in the meantime I was hoping to model the fritsl's "Bernard the Cuplifter" robot.

 

So here's my question. I was thinking of how to script to recognize a cup to lift.

here's my idea. Let me know any alternative ideas or imput on it

 

If there's an obsticle center move head right check distance is > center

If distance > center on the right then pan head left check distance > center

If distance left & right > center use the arms if not continue on to navigation script.

 

Any thoughts? Id ask Frits but my budget wont provide me any more of his help Ive been buying a cheap servo every 2 weeks =) Still couldnt thank him enough for where he's gotten me I'm loving life!

**you **

you can tell im to get to a determined distance of the cup and then count the degrees that the servo as to go to get to the ends of the cup, an averag that is how i would do.

good luck!
