iC hexapod
I am a hexapod robot, with a head that can pan and tilt. I have a blink shutter over my main lens which is built from an old 10 x optical zoom digital camera. I have six legs, each leg has 3 servos. I also have two servos to move my head, and one to work my blink shutter. Each servo is connected to my on board processor called the p.Brain. The p.Brain looks after all of my leg and body locomotion functions. I have a second computer which is connected to my CCD eye camera, and to my p.Brain via a serial link. This computer is much like a miniature home PC which runs Windows XP. I call it the CvPC. I use the CvPC to look for people's faces. Once a face is found, It tells my p.Brain which way to go to track the face. If I have been tracking a face for a certain length of time, I take a picture which is uploaded to my website: hexapodrobot.com
