From Pumping Station One
My first major project, and a page to describe it.
[[Category:Member Projects]]
A project to explore the creation and uses of 3d maps made by a semi-autonomous robot with imaging sensors.
==Introduction==
This is a prototype of a bigger, more accurate beast capable of mapping an entire town with at least 10x10x10 cm Voxels
==Implementation and Scratchpad==
The arduino and motors work well powered from the USB port on the Netbook.
The webcams are mounted
Now researching software to do machine vision, robot localization, and 3d mapping.
==Part Research==
* Motors - 5 volt geared steppers
* Motor controller - Arduino Uno with discrete transistor drivers, gets power from USB
* Main processor - Acer Netbook
* Vision sensors - 2 * 2Megapixel USB webcams
==Links==
* Groundhog - A robot for mapping abandoned coal mines in 3d - http://www.agiweb.org/geotimes/aug03/technology.html
