Project contributors:
Group project. I was the lead project designer and team leader of the group.
Project hardware:
I used a Han's cute robot, a USB webcam and a laptop running Windows.
Project Description:
This project was an assignment for the UTS subject of 41013 Robotics. My group was tasked with using the Han's cute robot in an application of our choosing. We selected to make a hypothetical autonomous refuelling station.
The objective was to find the black circle using computer vision, then calculate a safe trajectory to the black circle, then navigate to the circle, then slightly enter it and then exit and go to the default position.
The Kinematics and vision algorithms are implemented in a single node in MATLAB. This node communicates with the HAN's cute robot using the Robot Operating System or ROS.
