    never tried this, but maybe can be implement. Need to learn image processing.

    I've made a light intensity detecting robot. From doing that I can tell you the problem with your idea will be the sensors. Just detecting light levels with the sensors I had was hard enough. It will all come down to the sensors. After that you just need a microcontroller and the base of the robot with motors. But I have no clue where to point you for sensors that could be good enough for that.

    Yes indeed ip is a way out where in input from camera is fed to computer through say parallel port and then we code in matlab accordingly..i too need help in this area..anyone

    Well,yes friend u can make a robo follow a person according to the colour of the dress he wears .
    it comes under image processing.
    it uses some programs of matlab where the rgb image is formed into our required proportions.
    we use parallel port here in input from camera is fed to computer through say parallel port and thenaccording to the program it works .
    any more insight is really welcome.

    According to me image processing is the best way to be implemented for such type of robot as written by AGRU. Otherway you can use sensors also for detecting different intesities of different colors with the help of ADC channel of the microcontroller that you will be using. Through ADC you will get different digital values for different analog input i.e. intensity. You can program your robot accordingly. But there are certain limitations of this method as it becomes very handy and you will feel a lot of trouble in sensor part mainly due to ambient light etc. You can overcome this problem to a great using the modulation technique. You can use a T-SOP or anything else that you are comfortable at for modulation.
    Hope the information be helpful for you.
    Thanks.

    now that we have narrowed down to ip as the optimum solution,can we strt discussing on that?The input from the camera is fed to the comp via parallel port.But how does the input look like?as in,can anyone give a code snippet😔

    anybody?if interested we could work on some problem statement.I am game 😀

    yes , u can giv the code .
    generally the code is nowadays given using matlab.
    shall giv some matlab codes of sm areas soon in 2 to 3 days.

    hi tazz ,yes u can do this.
    as i had said earlier we can do ur required job by using matlab and converting image into rgb format.u need to use a camera fr this.
