Robotics Project 3

Third Project for COMP 570: Robotics at Bridgewater State University.

This project aims to create a drone, and a program that finds a face and then will follow that person, without running into the person.
By doing this project, the student will learn more advanced work in robotics with drones and video / computer vision.

Details

The robot / drone needs to be able to:

• Take off
• Look for the target person
• Follow the target person at a safe distance
• Move left, right, forward and back as needed
• Be directed by hand gesture recognition
