Self-driving disinfectant sprayer "Shodoku-kun"

A rover steered with a smartphone's gyroscope, with live camera view and a disinfectant spray. I handled the system architecture, UI design and the code relaying the camera feed.

To meet the assignment's requirement to use Processing, a Processing server runs on a Raspberry Pi on the rover. Control messages are sent over OSC.

Designing the overall system architecture

Starting from a teammate's wish to build a rover, I proposed the structure: a Raspberry Pi on board, control over Wi-Fi, streaming from a web camera, and steering with a smartphone's gyroscope.
