Hey guys! I wanted some guidance on a project I'm working on. I was wondering if it's possible with an Arduino to recognize an object via a camera. My goal is to be able to detect an object and execute a program by consequence. First of all, I wanted to know if it's possible. Second of all, I wanted to know if anyone has any idea on how it could be possible to do it. I don't want someone to write the whole code in my place, I just want to know how I could do it, with what components and maybe give me some guidelines for my code. If someone has some example code for a similar project, that would be fantastic too! That is, if it's possible... Thanks a lot! WB ---

What types of objects do you want the computer with camera to _recognize_? Object _detection_ is often trivial. For example, a dirt cheap ultrasonic sensor can inform your robot of an obstruction in its path. ---

> [@jremington](#): > > What types of objects do you want the computer with camera to _recognize_? First of all, thanks for responding! I'm working on a robot for a competition. I would like the Arduino to recognize / see / track the competion balls which are blue and yellow and about 6in in diameter. Hope this helps! WB ---

Thanks for your help guys! I'll check out the ESP32 and the PIXY. One more thing: There's another post I made concerning this subject, so maybe you could check it out. And if anyone else has any ideas for this post, I'd be thrilled! Thanks! WB ---
