What cameras have people used for the robot project INMOOV'S eyes.
What cameras have people used for the robot project INMOOV'S eyes.
The goal is when a sound is heard above a certain db level to be able to turn on the camera that is in the direction of the sound to see if I see a face. If a face is detected, then I would turn the robot in that direction. This will prevent power hungry motors from needing to be used as much, giving longer battery life. That is the theory anyway.
The two on the chest will be used for binocular distance measuring. The two in the eyes will be used for recording and face recognition, object tracking. The others are more for environmental condition information.
My goal is to do away with most of the other sensors like ping and IR sensors. I would like to be able to do most sensory analysis through cameras. I believe this is the future of robotics and am trying to push the envelope to see what is possible going down this path.
Because I have 5 EZ-B's on the robot, each having a port just waiting to be used with a camera, I figure that I will use the EZ-B cameras. This allows me not to have to add additional USB ports to the onboard robot computer.
