Objective
Build an animatronic eye that detects a person and physically follows their position around a room.

Autonomous Humanoid Eye
Camera-driven animatronic eye system that detects and tracks a person's position in real time, physically moving the eye mechanism to follow them around the room. Computer vision pipeline on Raspberry Pi drives servo-actuated eye movement with smooth, continuous tracking.
Development process
Perception
A camera feeds a computer vision pipeline running on Raspberry Pi. OpenCV and Python provide the processing used to detect and track the person’s position.
Actuation
The tracking output drives a servo-actuated eye mechanism, translating visual position into physical movement.
System behaviour
The homepage describes smooth, continuous tracking in real time. Quantitative test results and build photographs have not yet been published.
Photos & drawings
Build photos and drawings will be added here as the project documentation is assembled.
Video demonstrations
Project footage is not available yet. Demonstrations and process walkthroughs will be added here.
