8) Vision Recognition Target Tracking
AiNex uses Opencv as image processing library to identify target items and complete Al games such as color recognition, color tracking, face detection and apriltag recognition.
① Color Recognition and Tracking
AiNex utilizes OpenCV to process image for recognizing and locating the color. When it detects the color red, AiNex nods. Upon detecting green or blue, the robot will shake its head. Moreover, it can track the movement of the target color using PID algorithm.
② Face Detection
AiNex loads a pre-trained face detection model using OpenCV and performs a greeting action when recognizing a human face.
③ AprilTag Recognition
AiNex can identify AprilTags and respond with various actions based on the recognition outcome. The robot kit comes with AprilTags, allowing you to program customized reactions corresponding to each tag.
④ Autonomous PID Line Following
By utilizing the PID algorithm for computation and employing camera-based recognition, AiNex can change its gait to successfully follow the line.
⑤ Auto Shooting
AiNex can calculate the distance to the target by determining its coordinates. Subsequently, it autonomously adjusts its gait to accomplish ball shooting.
9) MediaPipe Development Upgraded Al lnteraction
Developed upon MediaPip ealgorithm, AiNex can identify humanbody features to enable functions like face detection, gesture recognition, and human body recognition among others.
10) Somatosensory Control
AiNex can execute appropriate actions upon recognizing the human body.
11) Fingertip Trajectory Control
Based on the detection of the distance between fingertips AiNex can adjustits height accordingly.
