Synopsis:
In short this robot will wave if it sees a human face. It accomplished this by using a Raspberry Pi, OpenCV, Python and a webcam. When a face is detected the command to wave is sent to the Servator32 servo controller.
Synopsis:
Remote controlled robots are great, but it's not truly a robot if it's not autonomous. The tread driven OARC has two modes, autonomous and RC, with a home-made remote control to combine the best of both worlds.
