Autonomous Tracking and Navigation

Below is the newest feature of our robot. We taught VALTR (Vibrationally Actuated Locomotive Tensegrity Robot) to play fetch! Our robot is able to track a target on the arena through the use of a mounted camera, and is then able to adjust angular frequencies in its motors to move towards the target. The “front” or forward vector is the neon green ball on one corner of the tensegrities top triangle.
