Description
The UXA-90 Robots, that were in the possession of KSU since 2016, were first brought up to date by the previous group. Through their creation of a REST API, they were able to issue commands and increase the accessibility of the robots. The robots would once again be revived as our team opted to expand on their capabilities. Using the Unity Engine with C#, a Meta Quest 2 Virtual Reality (VR) device, and a Raspberry Pi, our team was able to both see and act through the robot. By default, the robot can: move, walk, see (through a webcam), hear and speak (using built-in speakers and microphones). Our team has enabled the user to more precisely control the robots through their own actions. Specifically, the user can control the robot's movement using the VR controllers, tracks the user's head movement, and streams camera output to the VR headset. This is done through an application our team has developed for the VR headset. Our goal with this project is to further develop the accessibility and capabilities of the UXA-90 robot.
