Resources and tutorials to build vision systems for robotic applications
This new breakout board from Sparkfun has a 1-millimeter resolution and around +/-5mm accuracy – which is good if you want to use the sensor to detect objects or create maps. The sensor emits a class 1 IR laser (940 … Read more →
I have this robotic arm with 6-axis and very cheap servo motors. When I bought it, I did not think I would use it to who knows what applications. I buy it because is cheap and I can control it … Read more →
YDLIDAR F4 and G4 are two LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors for environmental scanning, SLAM application… in other words, the sensors are designed for use in robot navigation. The price range is $259.00 for F4 and $419.00 for G4. … Read more →
Leishen produces LIDAR sensors with a price range that exceed $5000, making these almost inaccessible to most of us. But their focus seems to be changed with a new series of LIDAR sensors – LS01. LS01 comes in two versions … Read more →
EyeT + is a 3D camera designed to reduce the time for installation and setup. Typically, such a camera is used at industrial level for monitoring, detection, and inspection. The possibility of using such a camera outside of the industrial … Read more →
Fathom is a USB device with a Myriad 2 processor capable of running computer vision algorithms in real-time. This little device has the potential to change the applying mode of artificial intelligence in robotics. Let suppose that you want to … Read more →
Computer vision applications aren’t only particular to experienced developers these days. The amateur DIYers are looking to develop with new and advanced algorithms in computer vision the next autonomous robot or security system. Considering all of these aspects, in this … Read more →
Engineers have always tried to give the robot the gift of sight. So, they have to replicate the human vision process with computers, algorithms, cameras and more. In the DIY area, a Raspberry Pi is the queen of prototyping platforms. … Read more →
The Raspberry Pi camera guide can be broken down into 8 dimensions: determine what you need; determine if you already own any potentially compatible camera; define the automatic functions of your camera; the compatibility between camera and your Raspberry Pi … Read more →
The robots recognize the environment or perceive objects in its path using several technologies such as laser and sonar sensors, or the traditional vision system represented by digital camera sensors. These little devices that provide images for robotic applications are … Read more →
