KIDA (v00): Kinetic Interactive Drive Automaton

📖 Overview

Overview KIDA v00 is the foundational entry in the Kinetic series, built on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. v00 is a versatile teleoperated and autonomous scout designed for robust remote monitoring and computer vision tasks. Core Features - [x] Multi-Protocol Control: Seamless operation via Web Interface, VNC, or direct Remote Control. - [x] Live Surveillance: High-definition video streaming with on-demand image and video capture. - [x] Biometric Inference: Edge-based vision processing for real-time Gender and Age detection. - [x] Reactive Autonomy: Integrated Ultrasonic obstacle avoidance and high-contrast line-following logic. - [x] Visual Feedback: Customizable RGB lighting for status signaling and environmental illumination.
Keybindings ### ⚙️ Mode Selection Use the numeric keys to hot-swap between drive logics: * 1 **Switch to Mode 1** (Standard WASD Vectoring) * 2 **Switch to Mode 2** (Independent Tank-Style Control) ### 🏎️ Movement Controls | Input | **Mode 1: Coordinated** | **Mode 2: Independent** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Q | — | Left Bank Forward | | A | Rotate Left | Left Bank Backward | | W | Move Forward | Right Bank Forward | | S | Move Backward | Right Bank Backward | | D | Rotate Right | — | | X | Speed Control | Speed Control | ### 🏎️ Mode Controls | Input | :--- | | :--- | :--- | | TAB | Cycle Modes | Cycle Modes | | U | User Cotrol Mode | User Cotrol Mode | | O | Autonomous Mode | Autonomous Mode | | L | Line Follower Mode | Line Follower Mode | ### 📷 Camera Controls | Input | :--- | | :--- | :--- | | C | Take Photo | | V | Take Video | ### 🎵 Media & System * M **Play Music** * Space **Stop Music** / Audio Interrupt

[!TIP] Use Mode 2 for heavy terrain or precise pivoting, and Mode 1 for smooth, cinematic strafing.

⚡ Technical Pinouts

[!IMPORTANT] This section describes the GPIO pin assignments for the KIDA robot.

KIDA uses the V2 robot Hat from the Freenove Tank Robot:

Freenove Tank Robot HAT v2 GPIO Configuration ## Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04) | Signal | GPIO Pin | |-------------|----------| | TRIGGER_PIN | 27 | | ECHO_PIN | 22 | --- ## Servos | Signal | GPIO Pin | |-------------|----------| | Servo0 | 12 | | Servo1 | 13 | | Servo1 | 19 | --- ## LEDpixel | Signal | GPIO Pin | |-------------|----------| | LEDpixel | 10 | --- ## Infrared Sensors | Sensor | GPIO Pin | |--------|----------| | IR01 | 16 (IR01) | | IR02 | 26 (IR02) | | IR03 | 21 (IR03) | --- ## Motor Pins **Left Motor:** | Signal | GPIO Pin | |--------|----------| | IN1 | 23 (M1+) | | IN2 | 24 (M1-) | **Right Motor:** | Signal | GPIO Pin | |--------|----------| | IN1 | 6 (M2+) | | IN2 | 5 (M2-) |

🌐 Connectivity & Controls

Connectivity & Controls ### Network Configuration | Parameter | Value | | :--- | :--- | | **SSID** | `NORA` | | **Password** | `12345678` | * `localhost:5002` ### RIFT Integration To connect via [RIFT](https://github.com/CursedPrograms/RIFT), ensure KIDA01 is active on: * `localhost:5003` - Opening this address in any web browser on the same network, will also launch the **HTML Remote Controller** for manual overrides.

Setup:

Environment Setup

Environment Setup ```bash python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install --upgrade pip pip install -r requirements.txt ```

How to run:

How to run: **1. Standard Execution** - Run the main application using the Python interpreter: ```bash python run.py ``` **2. Using Shell Scripts** - If you prefer using shell scripts, first ensure the files have the necessary execution permissions: ```bash chmod +x make_executables.sh ``` - To launch the main environment: ```bash ./run.sh ``` #### 🤖 Autonomous Behaviors - To execute a single autonomous behavior, run the corresponding script: #### Line Follower: ```bash ./run_linefollower.sh ``` #### Obstacle Detection: ```bash ./run_obstacle_detection.sh ```

Note: You can also just double click on any *.sh

[!IMPORTANT] Ensure you have granted permissions via chmod before attempting to run the .sh files for the first time.
