 Our system seeks to create a tool that can be used by caregivers to monitor children, disabled, or elderly loved ones in order to provide an additional degree of freedom. Our system may also be used by homeowners in order to provide a view of the home in their absence.

 Our system is preceded by a number of systems.  Castles and moats; ropes and bells; complex video recordings and control of the home.  The term “babysitting” dates back to the early 1900s.  Baby monitors and nanny cams are the most recent technologies on this subject.

 Working prototype for use as demonstration for the WVU Robotics Club outreach programs  Convincing replication of the popular Sci-Fi character R2D2.

 Robot Shell: Art Major Christopher Tingley  IP Camera: WVU Robotics Club  CMU Camera: Carnegie Mellon University  Robotic Parts: WVU Robotics Club  Web space: LCSEE

 Our team will build a robot that will utilize two cameras to track and follow a subject. The user will also have the option to manually control the robot. The robot will send a video feed to a web application that can be viewed by the user via the internet. The system will be designed to replicate the Star Wars character R2D2 in order to serve the WVU Robotics Club as a demonstration robot.
