Antonio Spadaro - Build and control a Python-powered robot. During this talk you will see how to make a robot able to recognize people with a Raspberry Pi as main board and Python as language. The talk will cover the hardware and modules, discuss briefly the alternatives, and finally show a live demo. ----- The robot uses two main modules: - **OpenCV** (_Open Source Computer Vision Library_), an open-source library that includes several hundreds of computer vision algorithms. Usage ranges from interactive art, to mines inspection, stitching maps on the web or through advanced robotics. - **gpiozero**, a simple interface to everyday GPIO components used with Raspberry Pi. The first is used to recognize the people and the object; the second to control the robot.
