The electrical system for this project consisted of a custom developed master/slave servo controller. Each actuator is controlled directly by a slave system that monitors a feedback potentiometer and implements PID control. Each slave in turn receives a position command from a master PIC, which itself is controlled by Matlab running on a PC. |

Overview
The goal of this project was to use computer vision algorithms to identify targets and direct a Nerf gun to fire at them.
Vision Overview
The vision system was implemented in Matlab to take advantage of their image acquisition and image processing toolboxes.
Target Extraction
