Pey! Where have you been?

Wow, it's been almost a year since my last post. I had to set aside my little projects because 2012 was my last year in college and since I left the best classes for last, I had to focus on them. My last semester was especially interesting, as I did my senior project and learned a little about android development, something that I hadn't even touched before. In a nutshell, what my team and I did was develop an android app for a Galaxy Nexus to drive a little toy truck using its GPS, compass and camera receiving target locations from another android app developed for a Nexus 7 tablet via the internet.

The tablet app had a map to select destination points and a couple testing functions as well as a D-Pad for manual override. It looked like this:


We used OpenCV to make the camera look specifically for orange cones and avoid them. Here's a video of the last test we ran of the completed project (I'm the guy in the red jacket):


I admit there was some room from improvement here and there, but given the time we had to do it and the fact that we really didn't know anything about android development or computer vision when we started I think we did great. And with this I said good bye to college and I am officially an Electrical Engineer! Yay!
