AI Kit 2023 All-around Upgrades: Elephant Robotics aims at Robotics Education and Research

Technology

In 2021, Elephant Robotics launched the AI Kit. It is a robotic kit that integrates multiple functions including vision, positioning grabbing, and automatic sorting modules. For people who are new in robotics, AI Kit is a preferable tool to learn the knowledge about machine vision and AI knowledge. With the continuous advancement of technology, Elephant Robotics has upgraded the AI Kit comprehensively.

Textbook and tutorials for robotics

To provide support to experimental and practical teaching, Elephant Robotics launches a textbook about machine vision programming and control. The book provides knowledge about robotic arms, vision sensors, programming languages, etc. It is a perfect solution for K-12 edication, educational institudes, and colleges. With the help of the tutorials and textbooks, students will enjoy robotics through experiential learning with easier operation when using AI Kit 2023.

5 built-in mainstream algorithms

AI Kit 2023 uses eye-to-hand mode, it can achieve color localization by OpenCV, frames out the colored objects, and calculates the spatial coordinate position of the objects relative to the robotic arm.

Aruco codes are widely used to increase the amount of information mapped from the two-dimensional world to three-dimensional time. It helps users to learn the positioning applications.

Feature point refers to the ability to represent an image or target in an identical or very similar invariant form in other similar images containing the same scene or target.

You Only Look Once (YOLO) is a very popular model architecture and object detection algorithm. Elephant Robotics builds this algorithm with the latest version in the AI Kit 2023, the YOLOv5.

Shape recognition of objects is an important direction of pattern recognition. In shape recognition, it is very important to identify the pattern features on which the recognition is based.

Software updates

Elephant Robotics develops a built-in visualization software and provides customization methods in the AI Kit 2023. In this software, users can directly select the different algorithms to perform different functions and change the coordinates. The visual interface helps users quickly identify, access and manipulate data and enables interaction and manipulation in a variety of ways.

AI Kit 2023 is more user-friendly now, even beginner who are new in programming or has no knowledge of code can also use it with several clicks.
