Integration of Camera on Robot | Camera in Webots Simulator | [Tutorial 14]
Interested in Robotics, Simulation, and can feel a spark..!!??
Wish to extend your learning in Webots to integrate a camera on your custom robots? Then you are at the right place. Soft_illusion Channel is back with a new video..!! (A channel which aims to help the robotics community).
#camera_node #Webots_tutorial #camera_webots
To understand this video better, do watch the previous videos on how to integrate a slider (linear) and a hinge (rotary) joint on your robot. The video teaches you how to attach the camera at the end of an actuator which mimics the functionality of a manipulator. On successful installation of the camera we can see live streaming of the robot environment. The camera mounted on the robot can be used for various applications such as object recognition/detection and Visual SLAM. Have fun as you watch the video and get a feel of riding on your custom robot.
As an initial step before diving into Webots, it is important to understand it’s importance and what sets it apart from other simulators like Gazebo and NVIDIA Isaac. User friendly, easy to learn and implement on custom robots and applications are not the only pros. For those who understand the intricacy involved, this software is easy to integrate with ROS, multi-threading is possible and an amazing tool for multi agent navigation.
Wait, that’s not all..!! Good news for Reinforcement learning fans..!!! OpenAI Gym blends well with Webots.
If the above information triggers any thought, please feel free to comment to initiate discussions not only on Gazebo or NVIDIA Isaac but also robotics in general.
Robotics is not difficult..! It is inspiring and challenging..!! We are in the current era of the Robotics Revolution, where Disco will be the name of a pet robot not dog.
This channel is driven with a motive to provide good robotics tools to aid everyone gain a good and simple understanding of this so-called complex robotics domain. Hopefully this will build the bridge to turn the novel ideas of viewers into reality.
