Inspiration

The idea came from wanting to build a program capable of recognizing foreign objects in my cat's water bowl and litter box and that could notify me and/or act on it by means of a robotic arm similar to the one shown in the demonstration.

What it does

This is a simple object recognition program, it takes in raw RGB data and produces an output with coordinates to the identified objects

How we built it

The program uses only C++ and native std libraries, I've been trying to familiarize myself with low level code a bit more so I restricted myself pretty heavily on the tools used

Challenges we ran into

The initial scope I set for myself was definitely too high for a solo project, while I love a challenge and wanted to see how far I could push myself I ended up barely being able to round out the object recognition part, I have no doubts that with a team this could have been a serious contender

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm happy to have made a functional product even with the reduced scope

What's next for QNX-Object-Recognition

I'd love to expand on the program by building an "arm" for it to be able to interact with the objects it detects (and to be able to remotely take care of my cats)
