Using Raspberry Pi and the OpenCV Library to Command a Robot for Tracking a Colored Object

Abstract

Raspberry Pi has established itself in the world of computer technology enthusiasts due to its low cost, high processing power in a compact board, the availability of several interfaces, available examples that have community support, and many other features, and it is much more accessible to everyone. The work proposes a solution for tracking a colored object using a robot built with the Raspberry Pi 4 board, simultaneously with the detection of obstacles. Programming is done in Python using functions from the OpenCV library.
