Trekker - OpenCV & Raspberry

Well this is not my first robot but as a software developer i felt maybe i can do something interesting right now. Right now the robot can be controlled via a web client as well by an android app and he is capable of doing some computer vision. I'm speaking of tracking a friendly green ball :) ! What i'm really excited about is to execute machine learning models on that platform and i want to do as much as possible on the pi. Next goal will be chasing around my roomba.

HW Specs:

1 x self built robot platform

1 x SainSmart L298N Dual H Bridge Stepper Motor Driver

4 x Stepper Motor

1 x Pi Cam v2

1 x Raspberry Pi V3

Software:

language: python

libs: opencv, rpi.gpio, pigpio

Running Stats:

fps: 12

28.12.17 The original goal was to execute a machine learning model on the raspberry pi. I think tracking an objects fits the bill. Wrote an environment to train an agent. Will be fun to extend that for even more fun. I successfully trainend an agent that moves until the tracked object appears in the center of the screen. Will be a lot of fun to extend that :)

Robot should detect that green ball as fast as possible and translate its position into immediate action. Take the balls position and drive left right forward or backwards.
