Episode 3: Kwabena Agyeman | OpenMV President & Co-Founder

About this episode

Continuing our theme of DesignLab’s Community, this week our guest is President & Co-Founder of OpenMV and Lead Embedded Systems Engineer at Embark Trucks , Kwabena Agyeman. Kwabena and Majenta revisit his 2016 Hackaday SuperConference talk, “Kickstarting Computer Vision with the OpenMV” , discuss the Hackaday origins of OpenMV, and get a status update on how the startup is doing today.

OpenMV makes low power, microcontroller boards which allows users to easily implement applications using machine vision in the real-world, which basically means OpenMV makes it possible for students and hobbyists to build simple robots that can track colored objects or faces. In fact, our first guest on the BOM, Jayy Moss , uses OpenMV in his robot, Helen. OpenMV originated as a Hackaday semi-finalist, so it’s very near and dear to our hearts.
