Robofan is a ceiling mounted fan that can
point anywhere in the space it is in and tracks the user with a
PixyCam. The tracking will be based on color identification
through the PixyCam. We use a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
as the centerpiece to connect our microchip, camera,
temperature sensor, motors and Bluetooth module. Robofan
also has a companion application for android that
communicates with the MCU via Bluetooth to give the user
specific control over it. The range of motion for the Robofan
is dictated by two motors and will allow continuous rotation.
