Kambiz Dana

The objective of the competition was to build a robot that could recognize three different objects ( a yellow tennis ball , a red soap box and a black can) , grab them and take them to a predestined location.

Kambiz Dana uses a web cam to capture a picture of the field , transmits the picture information through USB port to the computer program. Processing the received image information , software decides and commands the robot what to do.

The robot , itself has a predefined software interface through an independent microcontroller that can establish a link to the computer by serial port.

Using a very precise feedback for each wheel in addition to six infra-red sensors, the robot can follow a path we ordered it accurately.

Feedback system

Some feature about Little Kambiz :

• Image Processing
• Precise movement made possible by means of seperate distance feedback for each wheel and plenty of infra-red sensors
• Software controllable speed of each movement motor
• Electrically breaking for each wheel
• Serial interface with computer - PC software is not involved in low level (robot hardware) operations
• Especial grabbing mechanism
• Four separate containers for four different objects
