Concept
The camera we are using is a UniBrain Fire-I that will communicate to the main computer via IEEE 1394 or firewire. At present the goal of the camera is to identify the orange cone to allow the robot to navigate toward it. This will likely be accomplished through a color matching algorithm similar to the one used by the original CMUcam. The software being designed for this work is based off the Camwire Project. Once identified it may be possible to correct the robot's positioning information based on the angle to the cone.
