A 350mg, Omnidirectional 6DOF Optical IMU/Optical Flow Sensor

A 350mg, Omnidirectional 6DOF Optical IMU/Optical Flow Sensor In a previous post, I demonstrated that the ArduEye platform could be used to prototype a 6DOF vision system for optical flow odometry. The goal is to make a vision system for the Harvard University Robobee Project.   After the success of the prototype, the next step …

New ArduEye using Stonyman image sensor chips

New ArduEye using Stonyman image sensor chips Awhile ago we (Centeye) started ArduEye, a project to implement an open source programmable vision sensorbuilt around the Arduino platform. The first ArduEye version used a simple Tam image sensor chip and a plastic lens attached directly to the chip. After much experimentation and some feedback from users, …

RC micro helicopter hover (yaw and height) using millimeter thick vision camera

RC micro helicopter hover (yaw and height) using millimeter thick vision camera As part of Centeye’s participation in the NSF-funded Harvard University Robobee project, we are trying to see just how small we can make a vision system that can control a small flying vehicle. For the Robobee project our weight budget will be on …
