# Autonomous Camera Tracking System with ROS

## 🚀 Project Overview

This repository documents the development of an **Autonomous Camera Tracking System** using **ROS (Robot Operating System)**. The project focuses on creating a robotic platform capable of object detection, tracking, and control system integration.

### Project Highlights:

1. **Building the Physical Robot**

   - Design and CAD modeling of the robot.

   - Solving inverse kinematics using three levels of mathematics:

     - High school-level 3D vector geometry.

     - Jacobian method for robotics.

     - Automating calculations with ROS tools.

2. **Object Detection Using a Camera**

   - Implementing object detection algorithms.

   - Using ROS and camera sensors for real-time detection.

3. **Applying Control Systems**

   - Developing control algorithms for object tracking.

   - Achieving precise pan, tilt, and zoom motions for the camera.
