Computer Vision: Phission

Phission is a concurrent cross-platform, multiple language vision system software development kit (SDK). The SDK constructs a processing sub-system for computer vision applications. Phission abstracts low-level image capture and display primitives, which allows researchers to focus on their primary work.

Wheelesley

Consisting of an electric wheelchair outfitted with a computer and sensors and a Macintosh Powerbook, this robot can travel semi-autonomously in an indoor environment. This allows the user to issue general directional commands and to rely upon the robot to carry out the low level routines such as object avoidance and wall following.

Serial Sense

Serial Sense allows anyone to interface simple digital and analog sensors to a computer. It also gives you the ability to control custom hardware circuits with the digital outputs. This was designed to expand the sensor capabilities of ActivMedia's Pioneer robots. However, it will work with any PC that has a serial port.

Pyro

Pyro stands for Python Robotics. The goal of the project is to provide a programming environment for easily exploring advanced topics in artificial intelligence and robotics without having to worry about the low-level details of the underlying hardware.
