Function Detail

We implemented a smart car using Arduino and TX1. The smart car do some movement as following:

• Move forward when the camera detect a car
• Move Back when detect a chair
• Turn left when detect a cat
• Turn right when detect a person
• Turn left then move forward when detect a bird
• Turn right then move forward when detect a bicycle
• Stop immediatily when the car meet an obstacle(using ultrasonic sensor)

Techniques

• Caffe Deeplearning framework
• Arduino
• ROS
• OpenCV

Picture

Files

• car4.c is the code controlling arduino
• main.cpp is the code controlling TX1

Deployment

You should use ROS to create a function package named ros_caffe
Then create a node named ros_caffe_test

Run

  catkin_make
  roscore
  rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py /dev/ttyACM0
  rosrun ros_caffe ros_caffe_test
