Intro to Robotics Projects - Part 1

At the end of ES450 Intro to Robotics, students are tasked with coming up with a task to automate that integrates computer vision and a robot manipulator.


Here the camera sees and object and determined its color, then the robot used the computer keyboard to send a text message, with the object's color, to a mobile phone using Matlab (Ruttum & Baker)




Here the Scorbot plays TicTacToe Against a human. It uses the camera to detect the state of the board, computes the best move, and moves the blocks (it is hard to write with a pen using the robot). It is always able to at least draw against a human player. (Valdez)





A GUI to control the scorbot. Robot scolds you if you click outside workspace. (Hatch & Landholt)
