Jump to navigationJump to searchThe 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
