iGEM scanner
TOMA 2, ¡ACCIÓN!
This scanner was created entirely by LEGO, and will be able to detect and create an image of the concentration of various substracts in order to be analised afterwards and facilite the work in modeling.
It seems unbelievable that you can do that, but LEGO is no more only for children: it exists a new LEGO tool called LEGO Mindstorms that allows users to bring to life their own constructions, by programming it in an integrated developement environment.
Automatons designed this way, are based in two actions: they can obtain different type of mesurements from their surrounding by sensing it, and also perform some work with its motors. The sensors that can be used are: sound, colour, proximity, touch, temperature and light sensor. This last one was used to carry out the main function of our machine.
C++Elegans
C++Elegans is a lightweight and easy to use image manipulation and analysis
software written in C++. It is cross-platform in part due to the use of the
open-source GUI library [http://www.wxwidgets.org wxWidgets]. This means
it can be compiled and run in several different Operating Systems, such
as Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. It is also open-source which means all
the code will be freely available and modifiable under the
[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GPL v3.0 License].
C++Elegans is being written as part of our iGEM project and makes use
of some usual image analysis algorithms.
