Final Project Idea: LumiBot
An intelligent, mobile lamp! Provides lighting where it may be needed. Can be commanded to go to a particular area, follow somebody, or automatically move towards where there is less light. The killer features:
- Turn on the lamp with a clap of the hands
- The robot can be set to follow somebody
- Auto-on whenever it is dark
- The lamp can change color based on the situation
Storyboard
Technical Challenges
- LumiBot must detect sound when person claps
- LumiBot will have to react appropriately to each consecutive clap (on --> follow --> off & stop follow)
- The lamp needs to be turned on via software
- TurtleBot has to detect a person and follow them
