# OptiTrack Robot Applications

OptiTrack cameras are particularly good for any application involving a robot that needs highly accurate positional data at low latencies and high frame rates.

The following list provides some example applications that can be achieved using OptiTrack system robots (typically using ROS2):

## Autonomous Ground Vehicles (AGV)

* Warehouse control system to monitor AGV position for moving packages or people around a large space.
* Research in an academic setting, such as this [example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0LIU1Sf6p0).
* Developing new products like package delivery robots.
* Evaluating the efficiency of devices like cleaning robots.

## Drone Tracking

* Entertainment or art projects such as tracking drones in a stadium or making patterns in the sky at night.
* Ensuring repeatable path for film or commercials, such as the following [example1](https://www.optitrack.com/about/customers/kmelRobotics.html) [example2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cin3sqPRj4).
* Monitoring or data collection for analysis, as in this [example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA0imIaL_F0).
* Research in an academic setting, for [example](https://actu.epfl.ch/news/a-drone-that-gets-around-obstacles-like-an-insec-2/).

## Robotic Arms

* Moving the arm in a confined space accurately for applications like food preparation.
* Developing a new arm and validating positional locations.
* Use to monitor assembly lines to assure quality product.
* Object detection and avoidance.

## Other

* Mounting a robot arm on an AGV to automate data collection for SLAM algorithms.
* Drift correction for robots traveling over a large space.
* Research into new types of robotic devices, for [example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFmeHPVtK0o).
* Other cool projects that use robotics to solve fun problems, such as these [example1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MkrNVic7pw) [example2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHWXZyfhQas).
