If you are looking for a new cool project check out this Vision Tracking System Kit from Trossen Robotics. Put this on a robotic platform, stick a red dot on your cat and have it chase your cat around the house. 🙂
“The RoboTurret Vision Tracking Kit is an industry first! Never before has it been so easy and so inexpensive to jump into the world of machine vision! Trossen Robotics has teamed up with RoboRealm® to bring this fantastic kit to experimenters everywhere.
This easy to build kit is based around the exclusive MosquitIO Pan & Tilt Microcontroller and includes everything needed to build a fully programmable, Arduino-compatible Pan & Tilt platform. Add webcams, lasers, airsoft guns, a variety of sensors to the available I/O, up to two small motors, and switch things on and off with the built-in solid-state relay! The MosquitIO can also be custom programmed using the Arduino IDE for autonomous behavior using sensory input, or a variety of other custom applications- your imagination is the limit!”
