  2. Introduction Our goal is to design a linkage system among a running car, a chasing car and a camera on the ceiling. The chasing car chases the running car using an aggressive pursuit algorithm. It runs in two modes: sensor mode and camera mode.

  3. Features Sensor based detection Image based detection Image recognition and processing Trajectory calculation and estimation Motor driving Wireless Communication

  6. Microcontroller Unit Requirement • Power supply is stable at 9±1V • On camera mode, XBee is connected successfully, motor is well controlled • On sensor mode, decide direction from sensor inputs Verification Measured by multimeter Print out the commands from both sides. Print out motor direction in the console and compare with actual behavior.

  10. Wireless Communication Xbee 802.15.4 Requirement • Connection between IPC and MCU is 100% successful. • Power source is stable at 3.1±0.3V Verification Print out the input and output on both sides Measure the voltage using multimeter.

  12. XBee Code

  13. Motor Control Requirement • Speed is stable at 0.35±0.05m/s • Turning mechanics can be controlled by MCU Verification It goes 1.8m within 5 seconds. We measured with measuring tape and timer. Print out the command and check with the actual behavior.

  14. Motor Control H-Bridge Direction control

  19. Image Processing Requirement • Power supply is stable at 19V • Filter out the background and preserve car’s object • Calculate the coordinates and turning direction Verification Charged from outlet Print out the picture processed and verify by visual observation Print out the turning command and compare with the actual behavior

  24. Total Costs

  25. Failures The view range of the camera is very limited. This is unexpected and not included in the Design Review. The delay in camera mode is about 0.3 – 0.4s, which is not tolerable in real time chasing. The sensors are sensitive to any objects. They cannot tell which is the running car. Due to the delay from the camera mode, we cannot find a proper algorithm for MCU to switch between modes.

  26. Future Works Find a better camera to solve the view range problem Carry out a decent algorithm for sensors to separate moving objects and still objects Object dodging algorithm Find a way to minimize the delay in camera mode Implement the mode switching algorithm
