Robockey was the final project for Mechatronics (MEAM 510) course at University of Pennsylvania. Each team builds 3 fully-autonomous robots from scratch. Each robot has a size constraint to fit in a cylinder of 15cm dia and 13cm height. The robots use photo-transistors to track the puck (which is emitting IR light). The game play commands are received through the wireless chip. The position is determined through the use of IR sensor (the one used in Wii Remote) that gives the location of 4 IR blobs mounted on top of the rink.
A Self Balancing Robot based on PID control built as part of a project for Mechatronics (MEAM 510) course at University of Pennsylvania.
Final Project for Computer Vision (CIS 581) course at University of Pennsylvania. Detection of Logo by using HOG features and replacement with a different one using pyramid blending and appearance matching.
"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727), From Brewster, Memoirs of Newton (1855)
Robotics has long intrigued mankind without age bar, be it a kindergarden kid or a graduate student. Robotics being a multi-disciplinary field involving the three major streams of Engineering namely Electronics, Computer Science and Mechanical and deriving concepts from a plethora of other fields has brought together researchers from all fields. This aspect of Robotics developed in me a strong penchant towards this field.
The prospects of Robotics are neverending be it in the field space robotics, humanoids or industrial robotics. Though there is a long way to go, as a budding Roboticist I would like make my contribution in this journey towards a better future.
