CMUCam1 Vision System

Published in issue 367, July/August 2007

CMUCam1 Vision System

For the CMUcam1 Vision System, Parallax teamed up with Carnegie Mellon University through Seattle Robotics. The product is however only available from Parallax and their distributors like Milford Instruments.

The CMUcam1 BoeBot package includes

1. A CMUcam1 mounted on an AppMod user interface board.

2. A printed user manual.

3. A CD-ROM that includes demo programs.

 

The goal of the product is to give you as simple a plug & play experience as possible. Plug in the hardware, upload the demo code then press the buttons and watch your BoeBot use its new vision system to “see” and respond to its environment.
