The system has been successfully used for over six months by more than 100 units, whose results demonstrate its high effectiveness.
a very literal example of giving a small computer eyes
a Raspberry Pi in a moving car is turning the road into a live list of objects
each vehicle gets a label, a bounding box, and a confidence score as it appears in the camera feed
the useful loop is simple:
camera frame → vision result → local rule → physical or network action
the same pattern can run on a much smaller board. my ESP32 vision guide starts with the camera, then shows how to turn what it sees into a reaction
give your ESP32 eyes
a camera rig tracks a flying drone
watch the crosshair: the drone moves, two servos turn the camera mount, and the target comes back to centre
that is the whole control loop in physical AI:
camera frame → target position → servo correction
my ESP32 vision guide starts with the same loop. the full guide below
