PROJECT OVERVIEW

First Person View Self Driving Car

By: Adam Daniel Strub, Elliot Li, Mei Mei Castranova, and Divya Krishna

Directed by: Professor Rich Martin

Our goal was to control the cars remotely and to evaluate how controllable the cars were.

​

HARDWARE/SOFTWARE

• Robotic Car → Osoyoo Servo Steer Smart Car
• Computer System → Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
• Camera → Runcam 2 and used it as a USB camera
• Local Area Network → Zerotier
• Micro Servo Motor so the camera has more peripheral view

​

NETWORKING

UDP sockets facilitates connection between two devices and pinging. Experimented with Zerotier to create a VPN and connect from anywhere on the internet.

OPENCV & Camera

OpenCV is a python library that allows image processing through a camera. When using the Runcam 2, there were two modes: USB memory card, and USB camera.

CHALLENGES

• Downloading CV2 to the Raspberry Pi
• Switching the camera between the two different modes
• Installing basic code from older to newer versions of the Raspberry Pi
