Frank Tank

A toy tank, stripped of its electronics and rebuilt to follow a person. A Raspberry Pi 5 with a Hailo accelerator runs YOLO on the camera feed and steers towards whoever it sees; an Arduino drives the two motors; after the wake word "ok", Polish voice commands start and stop it and change its speed. YOLO on the Pi's processor alone lagged, so we moved detection to the accelerator. A course project at PJATK, built with Rostyslav Kovalenko in May and June 2025.

The open hull of a toy tank on paving stones in the sun: an empty plastic shell on two tracks, with only a motor and gearbox and a red wire left at one end. — The toy tank's hull with its own electronics taken out, May 2025.
