Phidget is connected to the PC and controlled through USB. I used a interface kit provided by Phidget to switch on and off a LED light . This is a simple hello world kind of exercise but it opens up lots of possiblitites in home automation

Navigation using object recognition

I integrated MSRS with RoboRealm and used the Navigation(AVM) module of RoboRealm . This module uses Associative Video Memory logic to recognize a image . The steps for integration of RoboRealm with MSRS R3 is available in the RoboRealm site. The object recognition is perfect and it also provides object tracking so that i can make my robot follow the object . In this video i trained the Navigation module using a picture and the i made the robot follow the picture. All these days i have been trying to do a sample with image recognition but all my attends were not very fruitful, now i feel we can do lots of wonderful object recognition with AVM module . RoboRealm looks very promising for object recognition . I would like to recommend this module for any one who wants to do navigation using object recognition

Intelligent navigation of robot inside a retail store

I have created a simple retail store in MSRS. This could have been created using any 3D tools like blender which gives a good visual treat. My simulation may not be of good quality but the idea is to demonstrate the use of RFID and other sensors to navigate accurately inside a retail store . The development of instore navigation becomes easy with Microsoft Simulation Environment. I have made use of RFID, Color ,Sonar and Compass sensors to make the robot travel in the northern directiion on the line. Further more i can improve the navigation using webcam image processing too. Currently the robot recognizes the line using three color sensor and it uses a compass to understand the direction to travel. It uses RFID to identify the aisle. The sonor sensor is used to identify a object and stop with out hitting the object. I would like you guys to give me some idea as to how we can use this protoyping knowledge and add value to the retailers.
