YOLO - “You Only Look Once”
Hey, have you ever played 'I Spy with my Little Eye' game? Imagine you are in a big room with lots of toys, and I ask you to find a toy car. You would use your eyes to look around the room and find the car, right? That's kind of like what YOLO does, but for computers!
YOLO is a smart computer program that helps computers find objects in pictures or videos, just like you can find a toy car in a big room. YOLO looks at the picture or video and tries to find objects in it. It does this by breaking the picture or video into tiny little pieces and analyzing each piece to see if it looks like a part of an object.
Once YOLO has found the objects, it puts a box around them so you can see them better. This is called object detection. YOLO is very good at finding objects in pictures and videos, even if the objects are small, blurry, or hard to see. It can even find multiple objects in the same picture or video, just like you could find more than one toy car in a big room.
Scientists and engineers use YOLO to help them with lots of things, like making self-driving cars or robots that can see and interact with their surroundings. It's like giving the computer eyes to see the world, just like we do!
Imagine a robot is like a person walking in a crowded room. Just like a person, the robot has to watch where it's going so it doesn't bump into anything. But instead of using its eyes to see, the robot uses special sensors to "see" things around it.
These sensors send signals to the robot's brain, which is called a computer. The computer is like the robot's "thinking" center. It takes in all the signals from the sensors and uses them to make a "map" of the robot's surroundings.
The robot's computer can then use this map to plan a path that avoids any objects in its way. Just like if you were walking in a crowded room, you might plan a path that goes around people or furniture so you don't bump into anything.
Once the robot has a path planned out, it sends signals to its wheels or motors to move it along the path. The robot continues to use its sensors to "see" things around it and adjust its path as needed, just like how you might adjust your path if someone suddenly steps in front of you.
