Robot Detector y Seguidor de Laser

Abstract

Abstract: For more than a century robots have captured the popular imagination thanks to the infinity of possibilities as well as the risks they pose, they are a technological reflection of humanity and everything it can build and destroy. Throughout these years in which robotics has existed as a formal field of study, generations of robots have followed one another, along with the rest of IT technologies. We have gone from crude automatons to powerful devices capable of imitating or even surpassing human beings in many aspects. Now, together with advances in other fields such as artificial intelligence, we are on the threshold of a new technological revolution in which automats will form an essential pillar. The advance of this technology has meant that it is now present not only in industrial centres but also in our daily lives, from hoover robots to autonomous transport trucks to fast food restaurant kitchens without cooks, robots have been in our daily lives for some time now. They will play an increasingly important role in our lives, in the way we understand human experience as well as in the economy. In my work I will carry out the process through which I will design the hardware and software of a robot that will be able to detect a laser pointer and direct its optical device to where the laser is. Once planned, as expected, I will materialize these plans into a functional robot.
