Overview and Materials
This project pairs the super-awsome Pixy CMUCam-5 vision system with the high
performance Zumo robot platform, a pan/tilt mechanism and an Arduino Leonardo for a brain.
The Pixy camera has powerful image processing capabilities that can track objects by color. It can
track dozens of objects simultaneously and report their locations to the Arduino in real-time. The
built-in pan/tilt servo control is fast enough to track a bouncing ball.
The Zumo robot is a low-profile tracked robot platform designed for an Arduino controller. It uses
two 75:1 precision micro metal gearmotors to drive extra grippy silicone rubber treads. Zumo has
traction and torque to spare, with a top speed of approximately 2 feet per second (60 cm/s). This
makes it a nimble little bot that can zip along at high speed and still turn on a dime.
Putting all this together with an Arduino Leonardo processor, you can build yourself a fun and
responsive little bot that will chase objects or follow you around like a playful pet!
The Pixy Pet Robot is simple to build with no soldering required. With just a few common tools, you
can complete the assembly in under an hour!
Before embarking on this project, please follow the Pixy and Zumo tutorials, getting those
working with the Arduino seperately and then you can combine them!
