Introduction

This application shows how real-time head pose estimation can be used to control a robot to mimic the person in front of the camera.  This allows you to become a puppeteer by simply moving your head!  Not everyone has a robot on hand to try out this demo so you can watch the video below from the Calgary Maker Faire where we had a robot setup in our booth along with a Maivin AI Vision Starter Kit controlling the robot.

Requirements

• Maivin AI Vision Starter Kit
• A robot...
  • RS-485 connection between the Maivin and the robot for real-time control.

Installation

• Copy the docker-compose.yaml file to the target using SCP.
• SSH into the target

• Bring down a previous docker session, if it exists.

  • docker-compose down

  • Use the --remove-orphans option if all previous docker components were not taken down.
• Load Docker Compose 

  • docker-compose up

The docker will automatically load on start-up.  The unit may require a reboot to ensure the camera pipeline starts properly.
