The CMU Vision System is based on the object tracking technology developed at Carnegie Mellon University.

The CMU-01 Pro software, feature above, is included in the package. This system will allow one to explore all the vision tracking properties of the CMU-01 camera, using the serial port of a Windows Based PC. Connection of the CMU camera requires one serial port. For additional tracking features to be utilized, such as real time tracking via SMC-04 servo motor controller requires a second available serial port on the PC.

To fully utilize this system the Windows PC requires two available serial ports.

Features:

• Robotic X-Y axis Base

The Tracker C-Bot is based on the object tracking technology of the Carnegie Mellon CMU Camera. Driven by two HiTec HS-425 servo motors (modified for continuous rotation), the Tracker Bot will move toward any object placed in front of it to track. When it reaches a predetermined distance away from the object it will stop. If the object is moved closer to the robot than the predetermined distance, the robot will back away from the object.
