Hello Robotics enthusiasts, my name is Robert and my son Andrew and I have put together an open source mobile platform from off the shelve components. We also combined the leading technologies in a software framework with the latest machine vision and machine learning capabilities. We aimed the end product for retrieving golf balls at driving ranges, however other types of applications can be adapted.
