Inspiration
Thien threw a grape in Brandon's mouth, and we thought it would fun to be build an automated one.
What it does
Automatically locates a face in the room and calculates the trajectory to throw the grape into that person's mouth.
How we built it
We constructed this device using 3d printed parts and laser cut pieces along with aluminum extrusion. The software is built off of the open source library opencv.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into issues of compiling the opencv package on raspberry pies. We also ran into problems with the part supply getting through the job queue as there were lots of error with the server.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We successfully implemented stereo vision with two camera processed on separate boards that are then networked together to locate the face.
What we learned
Opencv does not like Arm architecture.
What's next for The Grapanator
Finishing up the driving system to have full control over the turret.
