Hello all,
I have to build a robot for my thesis projet that will be able to follow a
line and inetrpret some graphical commands on the line (like left triangle
turn left, big circle wait 10 secs etc)
I was planning on modifying my remote controlled car, install a webcam on it
and have a long usb cable OR have it drag my laptop OR put a biscuit pc or
normal pc on it. The operating sysetem would be linux (probably an RT linux
for the extra power). (My laptop is a p4 1.6)
Then i saw lego mindstorms, and started wondering IS IT SERIOUS ENOUGH? Does
it have the power on its own to accomplish such a task?
Or can it be teleguided by a computer (robot sends images to the computer
which processes the images and controls the robot) (If possible the computer
can be dragged on wheels...)
Besides how far can I use legos? Can i use them in my further studies,
like can 2 cameras be attached and effectively controlled so the robot is
aware of its 3D environnement. Can i do AI stuff on it?
I could buy a biscuit pc aswdell ( small pc 800mhz via cpu, everything
onboard, 10cm x 8cm) which would do me more good for learning AI and image
processing for robotics. Please advise, i have to make a decision and start
my project which is due in 2 and a half months.
I would be glad if you send me any ideas on my project.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
