Community

The ml5.js community page is dedicated to highlighting artists, technologists, makers, activists, thinkers, tinkerers, researchers, scientists, designers, students, and anyone/everyone who are working in and around machine learning in thoughtful ways. Many of these posts not only showcase what is possible with ml5.js but also what can be done when applying machine learning methodologies and technologies more broadly. Special emphasis is given to projects that highlight ethical and critical engagement with technology and/or are simply delightful.

Human Pose Controlled Bluetooth Robot Car

Human Pose Controlled Bluetooth Robot Car

Hamed Diakite, Amro Halwah

A robotic car with an HM-10 BLE module is controlled by human poses detected in real-time using p5.js and the PoseNet library. A neural network is trained to recognize 5 different poses, and these poses are used to control the car over Bluetooth.
