first test of motorized object tracking with SRV-1
Here's a quick test of a motorized object tracking function we're adding to the SRV-1. It's pretty basic, but works surprisingly well.
Here's what the base station console looks like when we first sync to the target object (in this case, my hand).
Here's a short sequence of photos showing how the robot follows my hand.
Or click here to see a 5MB Quicktime movie of the sequence.
It actually took less than 20 lines of C-code to implement this function in the SRV firmware. Clearly, there's a lot of opportunity to create better filters, smoother motion, etc, but this isn't a bad start ...
