# BB-8

A semi-autonomous recreation of the BB-8 droid featured in Star Wars.

This robot will use computer vision to detect and avoid objects and use a variety of sensors to provide localization information.

We plan on using a Surface tablet inside the base to run the CV and ML programs and provide wireless joystick support for the user.
