ESP32 Stereo Camera for Autonomous Task Completion

I’ve used the esp32 stereo camera I build in the previous video, for autonomous task completion. Except in the last video I only used mask-rcnn, in this video I have experimented with both mask-rcnn and yolov8.

The task is to identify knock down some plastic bottles. The goal is to develop a robot that can pick up recycling (and other objects), but I don’t have the resources for such a robot at the moment, so identifying and knocking down the plastic bottles is just a substitute for picking them up. It’s like a proof of concept.
