Project Title
AI controlled ball launcher
Project Area of Specialization
Project Summary
Designing an object tracking prototype, that would read image data and and track target objects. Furthermore, specific feature includes hitting a colored taget object with a colored ball, of same color. Required hardware will be a camera; to navigate and detect taget objects in a defined limit of field, motors; for camera and launcher movements.
Project Objectives
To investigate one of the various Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to drop coloured balls into same coloured boxes/bins, placed at different locations. Computer vision strategies will be used to propel and track a ball, to hit the colored target.
Project Implementation Method
Major hardware implementation is a designed frame of iron/stell, on which all the components and rotating parts are to be installed, including:
- An iron/steel body
- Camera
- Iron/Steel chamber for loading ball
- Iron/steel ball container
- Microcontroller(s)
Benefits of the Project
The success of this project can open different other alternate ways, for problem solving in industries, as so in real life – distance estimation using computer vision, target precision and real time object tracking.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable
The prototype consists of Python microcontroller (PyBoard) for giving control to the machine. The camera, mounted on the iron/steel frame rotates and reads data and feeds the microcontroller for processing. The ball is loaded into the chamber, after extracting visual properties, by the camera, into the chamber with the help of holder clips.
