The BucketBot is a small PC based robot built for vision research purposes. The robot includes a CCD camera, USB Digitizer, Pentium based biscuit board CPU, and two differential motors. The BucketBot only uses its single vision sensor to sense the environment. No encoders, IR distance sensors, etc were used to test if vision can be used for multiple situations. The BucketBot has successfully accomplished various tasks such as line following and object tracking.
