Swenson College of Science and Engineering.Optical tracking is a way to measure in real time the position of an object with the use of certain markers on that particular object. The markers used are usually a form of infrared light. This type of optical recognition technology is widely used in the robotics world, but rarely in a theatre setting. In this study, a working prototype of an object detecting robot was completed with a functional algorithm to read object signatures and react to different cues in the environment.enUniversity of Minnesota DuluthComputer ScienceOptical RecognitionStage RoboticsRaspberry PiPixy2Object DetectionUndergraduate Research Opportunities ProgramPresentation
