This is a challenge issued by friends and family. The goal here is to make a robot that can bring beverages from another area to wherever the people are , allow the person to get their drink , then leave. It does not need to be fully autonomous , even remote control is acceptable. It does not need to grab them from the fridge, preloaded beverages are acceptable. This is Ez Robot though, I believe we could do better than that! Well anyways to start the project off I am using a roomba base. I picked up a stainless steel trash can last night as a outside casing. I will show you the rest as we go

I tested the Camera reading QR codes from 7 ft 4 inches away and it does even better than with a bright white 1 watt led pointed at it. To make the camera read the IR light I had to remove the IR filter over the image sensor. This was very easy and increased the overall light sensitivity in low light like many homes are. Now I need to figure out how to read the angle that the QR code was read at so this can be formed into a simple landmark IR navigation system.
