Walleye has three 6811 microprocessors linked together through syncronous serial ports. One 6811 controls the motors and the gripper, another decides what to do next, and the last one processes the images. Walleye looks for styrofoam cups and empty cans, picks them up, and delivers them to either a trash or a recycling bin. Walleys uses a small black and white camera (160 by 160 pixels) to recognize trash and trash bins. Walleye has competed in the IJCAI/AAAI 1995 Robot Competition (in Montreal, August 1995) and has obtained the third place in the Pick up trash event.
