چکیده

It is necessary for a biped robot to recognize a surrounding environment when moving to the destination. This paper presents a method for path planning and obstacle avoidance for the biped robot. In our approach, the robot obtains color information and distance information of objects from images captured by a stereo camera system. Then, the robot generates a 2D grid map which locates floor regions, bump regions, obstacle regions and unmeasured regions. The robot decides its path by using the 2D grid map. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Keywords— Biped robot, Stereo camera, Obstacle avoidance, Path planning, Color information

A New Obstacle Avoidance Method based on Biped Robot

Currently, in order to avoid obstacle, most robots will choose a new path. This paper proposed a new obstacle avoidance method for biped robots. When lower obstacle exists in the road, we will calculate the obstacle’s three-dimensional information instead of using the traditional method of re-select the path, so that the biped robot will avoid obstacles successfully by crossing the obstacle. In...
