Delivery Line Tracking Robot

The project we embarked on is making an electronic robot that can deliver a package along a set route through infrared sensors. It uses the infrared sensors to determine if the path it is following is correct or if it is off course. This is determined by sending off a photon to reflect off the path and determines if it is on a light surface by the amount of light emitted back or if it is a dark surface by the amount of light that is not present. In addition to following a line, the user can stop and start the robot at any interval through the infrared remote control. The project is a combination of the practical parts of machinery with the software part of coding in Arduino which is a coding subsect of C++. This can lead to endless possibilities that could help a wide variety of people from all ranges of life, especially with those that live with disabilities

Machine Learning Based Object Tracking

Machine learning based object detection as well as tracking that object have been performed in this paper. The authors were able to set a range of interest (ROI) around an object using Open Computer Vision, better known as OpenCV. Next a tracking algorithm has been used to maintain tracking on an object while simultaneously operating two servo motors to keep the object centered in the frame. Detailed procedure and code are included in this paper.
