The Cornell University ECE 5760 Advanced Microcontrollers Project fall 2008 results are up. This Ball-E colored ball following robot is just one of many cool projects. Cathy Chen and Matt Meister did a great job of documenting the project for us to enjoy! This year Bruce Land gave the students a Altera/Terasic DE2 FPGA development board to let their creative juices flow.
"Our project’s goal was to create an automomous robot that utilized a camera and tracked a orange ball in a mostly white/gray enivironemnt. Using this information, the robot’s neurons would control four motors to steer the robot toward the ball. We would then manually move the ball and BALL-E would chase it. "
