EMMA2Camera

EMMA2 is a mobile autonomous robot designed and constructed at the department. The robot's hardware is based on a Palm Zire handheld computer being equipped with a camera and a Bluetooth communication device. In order to navigate in the environment the robot must have the ability to detect basic objects extracted from the camera images. The camera can be controlled at the level of the Palm operating system, however, all EMMMA2 software is written in Java. Thus, a Java camera interface within the Emma Modular Control Concept (EMCC) is to be designed and implemented. As a final proof of concept EMMA2 should be able to display the camera image on the handheld's screen and transmit the image to another handheld.
