This article proposes a feature-rich, open hardware, open software inexpensive robot based on a Waveshare AlphaBot 2. The proposal uses a Raspberry Pi and a chrome plated light bulb as a mirror to produce a robot with an omnidirectional vision (catadioptric) system. The system also tackles boot and network issues to allow for monitor-less programming and usage, thus further reducing usage costs. The OpenCV library is used for image processing and obstacles are identified based on their brightness and saturation in contrast to the ground. Our solution achieved acceptable framerates and near perfect object detection up to 1.5-m distances. The robot is usable for simple robotic demonstrations and educational purposes for its simplicity and flexibility.
