Career Development for Nigerians ... A Knowledge Sharing Forum!
I gbadun una idea. It is a lofty one. Selling the idea to final year students in our university will also not be a bad one.
I am still thinking if I will really have the time to be actively involved in the project. Nevertheless I am here to MOTIVATE YOU FOLKS. I think we are gradually getting there. I strongly beleive with youth like us (i hope am right) a bi na papa una be . There is a great hope for Nigeria in technological developement.

Yemi,
No mind X-2-X and jiggo. They are not the only ones in this forum, sheee . If them wan sidon look, they wud have to also function as "football coaches" who assit in providing the technical know-how and criticize constructively, not like most Nigerian coaches though , who just watch matches like spectators.
I believe there are many pple in this forum who would want to delve into such "ambitious" projects and they are doing so quietly (maybe reading towards its success).
Back to the project, since we have identified an area "Machine Vision", I think we can work towards it 4rm there.
I want to use this medium to call on our Elect/ Elect & electronics related forumites to research & present a design for the "sight" circuitry. While those of us who are software minded work on the blueprint of "recognition". It is something we can do. I wud be doing some work on it myself.
So lets start bringing out ideas that wud turn X-2-X, jiggo and the other "sidon look coaches" around and make this project a reality.

Yea back to bussiness, as we have decided to utilize computer vision technology to make a qwerkbot locate a round football and move twards it. To decribe what i imagine better, below is something i just sketched on paintbrush, dont mind my poor graphics ooo, i no no how to use any other application dan paintbrush oooo

Ok now.....
Every Project needs to be well project managed!
Andso, this would follow suite, as our coach and project manager X-2-X suggested... After this post, I would post 10 steps we need to take and our robot is up and rovering.. If you are just reading this topic, and you are also interested in being part of the project, just go theorugh every post on the topic, and indicate you interest by posting you intentionss.
Everybody is welcome to partake in this robotic adventure, I am particularly interested in UnderGrdautes or even senior secondary school students self ....who wants to learn and have fun through this project..
Ask questions on any aspect or steps thats not very clear as i delineate them one after the other...
Regardsss

Step1: Understanding Our robot; Definition and the Functionalities..
What name should we give our robot self??? Anyway we decide on that later...
The robot we are building is rover-like and would be built using Qwerk a product of the TeRK Project called Qwerkbot by carnegie mellon university...We want to build on d back bone of Qwerk for our robot..bcus its cheap and well documented.
I feel its a good platform to start and build upon.
We be adding a lot of other intelligent functionalities to it.
Most of this funstionalities would be based on Machine vision technology and Infrared for direction and collision detection capabilities.
Most of the addon on intelligence we would build into our robot would be built on a remote Linux Machine connected over Wireless IP, as shown in the paint brush diag. From the Linux server, we would ve access to some xpossed API's to control the robot over TCP/IP.
The robot's eyes is simply a webcam, and the images would be streamed realtime into the LInux Machine. We would catch this images using video servers and survelilance softwares. Then we process the videos using image processing softwares to detect patterns and recorgnize particular shapes...
With all this, the robot would be able to:
1) MOve/rover, and can be driven over the internet in particular direction
2)The robot would be able to search for instructed shapes, locate and find it by touching it.
3)The robot would be able to take snapshots of evenst in a particlar environment based on remote commands, or recorgnized image patterns.
4)The robot would be able to do basic monitoring and surveilance functionalities. E.G motion detection for security systems. etc...
Those are basic functionalities, we would include the advanced ones like face/voice recorgnition etc...after we have started..
Thats that about STep1.
Please make sutre u understand this step very well, as this is the overview of want we want to set out to achieve...in other stepss..
Regardsss
