Visual Marker Tracking for Robotics

This is where the idea originated:

The aim was to track the expansion of a soft pneumatic actuator to be used in the leg of a jumping robot. Detailed analysis of the accelerating motion was obtained with a high-speed camera.

It was easy to perform lots of test runs with different parameters (air pressure, payload weight) thanks to the automated motion analysis.

Using multiple trackers in one scene.
