Object tracking and robotic arm control

Introduction

This is a small project to use OpenCV 3 to control OWI robotic arm

It is based on couple of other projects

• https://github.com/dannystaple/robot_arm
• http://blog.aicookbook.com/2010/06/building-a-face-tracking-robot-headroid1-with-python-in-an-afternoon/
• OpenCV Python tutorial

It will track your fist (left hand) and move OWI robotic arm according your movement in x or y direction
