Intelligent optimal control of thermal vision-based Person-Following Robot Platform

INTELLIGENT CONTROL OF DaNI ROBOT BASED ON ROBOT VISION AND OBJECT RECOGNITION

In order to use the mobile robot platform for tracking particular moving objects it is necessary to develop intelligent top level control algorithm. In this paper a computational intelligence based object recognition algorithm in robot vision system is presented. The main goal of this research was to enable DaNI robot to recognize the particular Lego NXT robot among other differently shaped Leg...

Monocular Vision Tracking Based on Hybrid Particle Filters for a Person Following Robot

A person following behaviour for a mobile robot with a new vision tracking algorithm is presented in this paper. According to the different characteristics of particle filter and Kalman filter, a novel approach of target tracking based on hybrid particle filters is applied to process the target object’s position and shape component respectively, whose state updating is on the basis of data fusi...

Person Following Robot with Vision-based and Sensor Fusion Tracking Algorithm

Current demographics show that Japan is experiencing a combination of an aging population and a declining birth rate. Therefore, interest is growing in the potential of human symbiotic robots such as daily life support robots that can care for the aged and young children. Human symbiotic robots require sophisticated capabilities to achieve symbiosis and interaction with humans. It is essential ...

Vision Based Person Tracking with a Mobile Robot

We address the problem of detecting and tracking people with a mobile robot. The need for following a person with a mobile robot arises in many different service robotic applications. The main problems of this task are realtimeconstraints, a changing background, varying illumination conditions and a non-rigid shape of the person to be tracked. The presented system has been tested extensively on...
