Hi
I am working on developing a robotic arm with vision capabilities. The
arm is modeled along the lines of the Lynxmotion arms (with base
rotation, shoulder, elbow and wrist motions). I have not added a
gripper because what I am trying to achieve is object tracking,
teaching the robotic arm movements by observing human arm etc. For
this, I think a single web-cam with a proximity sensor like an IR
distance sensor should suffice.
On the image processing front, standard object tracking techniques like
Image Subtraction will fail because I am mounting the web-cam on a
platform on the robotic arm's wrist. So because the camera itself is
moving, subtracting the current image directly from the previous one
will not yield any result.
I need help in developing the image processing algorithm for the OBJECT
TRACKING APPLICATION.
Thanks

Arun

Hello,
maybe you could be interested in my project of this
robotic arm, similar to those of Lynxmotion but with
some semplifications.

That is a very slick and ingenious looking arm you made there!
Congratulations!
