Presentation transcript:

The Gaze Controlled Robotic Platform creates a sensor system using a webcam. A specialized robot built upon the Arduino platform responds to the webcam input on the user’s cue. By processing the image captures, the robot is directed to the target destination indicated by the user’s simulated gaze. Website: The user interface consists of two components, a push-button console and a pair of glasses. The glasses simulate the user’s gaze using a switch activated laser pointer. The console consists of two buttons, one to initiate robot movement and another to recalibrate the robot movement. A status LED indicates when the robot has reached its destination. The same LED with flash in the event of an error to direct the user to PC debug output.

The Team Jeremy Thornton, Nicholas Harezga, Matthew Wozniak The intent of this system was to be as simple as possible to allow users of varying technical backgrounds to set up and use the system with minimal hassle. There are 4 main components to this system: a PC with wireless communication, a scene camera to capture the operational field, the user control module, and the robotic platform. The computer will interpret the scene, determine the location of the laser relative to the robot, and wirelessly transmit instructions to the robot.
