  • distance. This package integrates computer vision using Microsoft Kinect and a myCobot 320 Pro for robot automation. To accomplish this, Builderbot uses openCV and a pre-trained SSD neural net to detect objects and give their location in 3-dimensional space. Once detected, the object’s coordinates are then sent wirelessly through the Robot Operating System (ROS) network to the myCobot to begin the automation processes. The Unity game engine and MoveIt motion planning framework is then applied to
