The Microsoft Kinect is a very useful sensor. The project will use the Kinect's depth sensor to allow a robot to avoid obstacles.

Phase 1 Framework

Robot Side:

Program in LabView to have a single robot move back and forth.

  • Robot is passed a new coordinate
  • Robot reads and converts coordinate to polar
  • Robot rotates to appropriate angle
  • Robot moves appropriate Distance

Kinect Side:

  • Testing hardware with sample code
  • Looking into API for Driver [[1]]


Phase 2 Implementation
