Greetings from Norway! Love your work DJ Sures!
I'm planning to build a robot that follows a user, I'm just wondering if there's a way to use the EZ robot controller? I need something that measures distance and direction between the user and the robot, and excludes other users that the robot only follows one user.
I'm a student studying Electronics & Mobile Communication, and therefore do some programming, C, JAVA, VHDL and starting with Python. So it's no problem if the idea need some programming.
Thanks

I was thinking of a small device that the user is equipped with, that that can give the data to the robot or something like that. But what could that device be?
You can make a robot with a EZ-b and a wireless camera to look, then you just give (for example) a red LED to a person and enable colour tracking for red with the camera in ARC; no programming required
Yeah, but then others can use a red LED and get it off track and change user. I'm thinking off a system that excludes other users/interceptors.
if you walk backwards, it can follow you by face recognition
You can have the distance sensor mounted with the camera. So the distance of the object can be determined.
Ideally, you can also use the Kinect SDK... I was working on a Kinect module, but I haven't figured out what to do with it yet.
Are you using the EZ-SDK DLL?
We're just on the planning stage at this moment, 3d-modeling a prototype and making a "what to buy" list
I'm thinking that the robot should avoid objects. For example a person walks and stop between the user and the robot it should drive around the person, but wouldn't that person interfere with the camera and so on?
Just buy a EZ-B, mkay?
It will make your life much easier.
LOL Lyron, indeed
