Doing a PhD is very demanding and sometimes boring. So, in order to add some flavors to it I have managed to work on some other things along the line of my research. These include participating in competitions and developing demonstrations using the same hardware platform. Following are some examples of my research related activities:
Mobile Robot Used in Phase One: The mobile robot used in phase one of the research is a modified powered wheelchair base. It is equipped with an onboard low power consumption PC, a Netburner controller and two IP based Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras. The whole system is designed to be controlled remotely through wireless networking. Therefore the
To implement a person following experiment using the mobile robot platform and its onboard pan/tilt camera an object tracking algorithm had to be developed and examined. For this purpose a color tracking algorithm was modified to suit the requirements of the person following experiment which was to be carried out at a later stage of
