Project Description: I made a robot that was controlled by the direction in which
a person would lean.� A camera was attached
to the robot and the video was fed back into a monitor in front of the user.�
A video camera was mounted on the ceiling above the user's head.�
If the user leaned forward, the robot would move forward.� By leaning to the right, the robot would move to the right.
Technical Notes:� The video tracking was accomplished using the
Mandala system on the Amiga.� The robot
control was accomplished using AmigaVision and a custom box full of relays.�
The robot was constructed from a radio-controlled car.
