The objective is to track and film a moving object seamlessly using a camera affixed to an OMRON cobot. The precise coordinates of the target object will be provided, and the task is to ensure that the camera smoothly follows its movement. This will be accomplished through a cobot coding within the Robot Operating System (ROS), enabling real-time object tracking.
In the subsequent phase, we will prioritize collision avoidance to enhance safety and operational efficiency. To achieve this, the cobot will be augmented with a 3D camera, facilitating the creation of a comprehensive 3D model of the surrounding environment. The development of a Digital Twin for this 3D environment emerges as a potentially invaluable tool for effective collision avoidance strategies.
Your role will involve the comprehensive development, implementation, and rigorous testing of a collision-free object tracking strategy within our laboratory setting. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, we aim to ensure seamless tracking while prioritizing safety and efficiency.
