I worked on a real-time camera-guided tracking system that used Python/OpenCV target detection and HEBI actuator control to move a pan–tilt platform smoothly.

Project Work

This project connected computer vision, motion control, and hardware integration. I used Python/OpenCV to detect and track a target from camera input, then connected the visual target position to motion commands for a HEBI pan–tilt actuator setup. I also worked on smooth pan–tilt motion, live tracking tests, mechanical assembly, bracket setup, and tuning the system around practical hardware behavior.
