5 Popular myCobot Projects From 2021

2. Projector robot

Created by , a Japanese technology company. Fixed on myCobot, the projector cast the scene of a box that looks like it's floating in the air. By displaying the image of the viewpoint according to the position of the face, it looks three-dimensional and magic enough. They did not develop any new technology as a mechanism. Instead, they apply face detection with small AI cameras, laser scanning micro projectors, transmissive screens, and box-shaped video to process on the PC combined with Touch Designer to achieve.

Besides, the projector mounted on is quite difficult to stabilize with LEGO alone, but it can be expanded further with .

3. Self-made myCobot

Created by (Ryota Kobayashi), a Japanese maker/prototyper. He made his own myCobot from concept designing to applying showcases and recorded the overall process which took 17 days. In addition to that, inspired by a concept model of a domestic robot "  " to be installed on the "ceiling", he mounted myCobot upside down and made some applications. This idea reverses traditional concepts that myCobot stands on a desk with a flat base or G-shape base mounted. He made a simple bracket with a 3D printer so that myCobot was mounted on the rail firmly. Ingenuity is important he thinks.

4. 3D Face tracking robot

Created by  a Japanese electronic maker. With the advent of YouTube and Netflix, he started to watch videos on his smartphone while lying on the bed. However, he got tired if he hold my smartphone in his hand all the time. To smooth his path of watching videos in pleasant, he made a moving smartphone robot arm whose position can be adjusted automatically with a feeling. This 3D face tracking technology mainly applies myCobot Pi and the OAK-D OpenCV Depth AI camera. Besides, he wrote a detailed tutorial for this project on his website. At the end of the tutorial, he concluded, this time, I tried to track the face using a robot arm that can perform face recognition and complicated movements with the OAK-D camera. If you capture human movements with computer vision and move the robot arm accordingly, you will find that it makes a great variety of movements. I hope it will be helpful for your development.

5. Augmented Japanese Tea Ceremony

Created by a team of university students from Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan. They tried to make matcha with , they used a video camera to capture the tea master's body movements. The program changed the movement of myCobot according to the motion of the tea master from a remote place. They got the Laval Virtual Prize of  for their achievements.
