Project Overview  Autonomous robot  Simulates behavior of dog fetching  Tracks a thrown object, picks it up, and returns it to thrower  Able to avoid obstacles  Computer vision  Able to recognize an object using a camera  Follows object using computer vision algorithms

Design Challenges Faced  Getting correct GPS headers in order to return home  Making the DOG less prone to noise while avoiding obstacles  Driving the DOG straight while balancing its body  Lifting up the neck due to the weakness of the neck servos (ability of driving less load)  Making an efficient power circuitry to withstand 60A drawn by the motors  Training the DOG to track objects
