Integrating Computer Vision with Motion Control - FIRST Championship Conference

[4AngryNutjobs]

Cannot wait for the talk! My team has struggled inplementing vision in the past, and I am sure this conference will help a bunch! Once the video is posted can someone share the link below?

If so, join us at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, April 27 in Room AC265 of the America's Center at the FIRST Championship for our session on "Integrating Computer Vision with Motion Control".

Here's the abstract:


This will be presented by Jared and Tom from Team 254, who (together with Austin from Team 971) brought you Motion Planning and Control for FRC last season. We had a great response (and a packed house!) last year, and have incorporated your feedback to make this session even better. To ensure the session is approachable for all levels of experience, we plan on focusing on concrete FRC problems (like auto-aiming a shooter) while showing how concepts like understanding how your camera works, being smart about tuning your vision algorithms, utilizing kinematics, and applying motion control best practices can make your solution better...we want to help teams compete while also opening your students' eyes to how professional roboticists approach similar problems.

And the great news is that all Championship Conference talks will be recorded this year, so you don't need to choose between this session and Karthik's...you can have both!

I'm sorry if I missed it, but do you know where will the recordings of these seminars be made available?

^ Where will the recordings be located???

Last year's might have been posted elsewhere, but it was on Youtube

Let's keep in mind that these presenters are on top tier teams that likely need their support for the next couple days as they compete. Last year's video was posted ~5-6 days after champs ended, and while I can't speak for the presenters, I would assume you can expect it sometime in the next week or so with a link to it in this thread. I wouldn't want to try to upload that large of a video via hotel internet myself.

That being said, if you haven't watched last year's or if it has been awhile, you can pass the time with the 2015 video which was also very awesome and applicable. I'd argue for the majority of the teams, maybe more applicable than this year's.

Sadly, I wasn't able to attend the session since I had to fly out Thur morning. When a video is available, if someone could post a link, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Brian

One way or another I will make sure a recording of this session (of sufficiently high quality) gets posted online. We will just redo it from home (and answer the questions that we received in person) if necessary.

I must be special because I can get into it.

Also it is an amazing presentation.

Thank you very much!

Here's a phone recording I took of the talk - I missed a minute or so of the intro, and a few questions at the end, but the rest is here.
