I finally started to get used to editing, shooting, etc a little. So, we can move on to more complex robotic projects.
At the same time, I want to start a new section dedicated to technical vision, machine learning and other funny moments.
I'll start with some basic things, like the movement of a robot along a line, and finish somewhere on neural networks and fuzzy logic.
This video is introductory. In it I'll talk about how to make a simple robot with a camera, with the help of which we will continue to test vision algorithms. The most part of the video is about setting up a single board computer (orange pi, in my case), as well as installing the OpenCV vision library.
By itself, the robot can also be used as a regular car with a remote control from a smartphone.
Links and materials from the video:
- Project repository (there is a python script to run on orange, a sketch for arduino and a small description of the project): github.com/TrashRobotics/CVbot
- Orange pi site: www.orangepi.org/

The main parts of the robot:
- Orange Pi Zero 512MB;
- Webcam;
- usb splitter (or logic level converter);
- usb-ttl converter;
- XL4005 dc/dc converter;
- Arduino Pro mini
- MX1508 motor driver;
- 4x yellow arduino TT gear motors;
- 2x 18650 batteries and battery compartment for them;
- toggle switch;
- board or piece of plywood;
