I think with object tracking of a trained object you can also stop when the object is a certain "size" in the camera. So QR codes, a colored dot, etc...

I thought about the "size" thing. however, i think there will be alot of jerking about with artifact and false reads with that . I like the idea Luis had.. Now to try and implement it

@Luis Sounds like a great plan. Did you ever get a change to post the script for this?

Thanks WayneA

I have not. at least that i know of. I will look around for it. it was on the ezb3 board but will work fine on the ezb4

@Luis Thank You!

yea thx and please do

I was thinking if EZ-B used PIR sensors we could train the droid to follow humans based on heat signatures... that way combined with the color or some form of IRDF tracking we could make it more realistic?

I was trying to see if anyone had any examples of using multiple sensors reading in a arrays to get best results (since those ultrasonics need a good algorithm to get better readings) and then return all 3 or 4 sensors feedbacks to allow the droid to make decisions during the follow me sequence... speed matching etc.

Makes sense... just need to be shown where to start with multi sensors...

Getting PIR sensors integrated would be great too if DJ is listening.

To be honest, I would just the camera control and some basic scripting... DJ has already gone through the trouble and done the work for you... What you want to do sounds like the "arduino" way of doing things... I would guess it would take a lot of programming...

By the way, PIR sensors are already "integrated" in ARC... I have used them in a few of my projects....

You can definitely accomplish what you want... but it does sound like specific "custom" programming....
