First, RObODAWG finds your object.
RObODAWG’s image recognition system relies on the Logitech c270 HD Webcam. An image processing script searches in real-time for unique markers (a bright LED ball) and determines the location of the object relative to RObODAWG. If the object cannot be immediately seen, ROboDAWG relocates, allowing the camera to search a new region. Once the object is discovered, RObODAWG moves towards the item to fetch it.

Then, it approaches it.
The drive motors are mounted on the base plate at the midline, with stand-offs to keep the shaft above the side of the chassis. The four wheels are placed on each corner like a car, with wheels on each side attached to the motor with a chain, creating four driven wheels. Opposing wheel motion allows RObODAWG to rotate about its center-point.
