JROBOT : Lego Robot Scanner Featuring Capture it

Abstract

Since the industrial revolution and with growing te<?hnological advancements, mankind has been busy in making intelligent machines in order to lessen the workload on humans. A robot is a versatile mechanical device equipped with achtators and sensors. under control of a computing system. In this project a robot called Lego Robot Scanner is built that scans the picture and software is developed with the help of which various · image editing operations may be performed on the scanned image. The Lego Scanner scans the pichtre pixel by pixel. It reads the pixel values by moving the light sensor on the picture along x-axis in back and forth fashion. Then it sends the pixel values of each scan line from RCX to the PC. On PC side an array is· allocated that keeps· on accumulating these pixel values until all the pixels are read. After this, program running on PC side constructs an image from that array and displays it on the screen also creating the image file. Later on various operations can be performed on that image as desired by the user.
