+ | Just a heads up, as those of you who joined in the last couple of years | ||
+ | won't have seen this kit when it was last actually set up and running. | ||
+ | When you next come in the lab you will see six red cameras mounted | ||
+ | around the top of the room. These are not spying on you. They do not | ||
+ | take normal images, and are only good for seeing specially made markers | ||
+ | using infrared light. They are also not switched on except when in use. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Should you choose to attach some markers to something though, then they | ||
+ | will let you track that object in real time, to millimetre accuracy at | ||
+ | 100 frames per second, within a volume from the surface of the central | ||
+ | table up to about 1.5m above it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is useful for lots of robotics and real time control projects. In | ||
+ | the past we had toy quadcopters flying around under precision control | ||
+ | using it, and now David is planning to use it with his hexapods. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The equipment is in my care and does not belong to the lab, but I am | ||
+ | happy for other members to make use of it with permission. Please see me | ||
+ | for training if you would like to use it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please take care not to disturb the cameras. The system is calibrated | ||
+ | now and any movement of them will prevent it working correctly until | ||
+ | recalibrated. | ||
