Control of Mobile Robot Equipped with Stereo Camera Using the Number of Fingers

چکیده
In recent years, introduction of autonomous mobile robots which support humans in environments close to our life is expected. Examples are shopping support robots and porter robots carrying the luggage while accompanying the person. To utilize these robots, real time motion control of the robots is important. In this paper, we propose a mobile robot system which performs the actions by recognizing the number of fingers. The robot recognizes the number of fingers from images obtained with a stereo camera system. Also, as one of the actions, the mobile robot follows human who wears a mark. We verified the validity of the system by using a wheel mobile robot in indoor environment.

Navigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...

متن کاملMultiple-Person Tracking for a Mobile Robot Using Stereo
This paper describes a method of detecting and tracking two or more persons from images captured with a moving camera. We propose a method of person tracking using distance information calculated with a stereo camera. Each person’s position is estimated by using Kalman filter in consideration of movement of a mobile robot and persons. Additionally, we report an experimental result on control of...
متن کاملMobile Robot Online Motion Planning Using Generalized Voronoi Graphs
In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...
متن کاملMetric Localization with Scale-Invariant Visual Features Using a Single Perspective Camera
The Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) has become a popular feature extractor for vision-based applications. It has been successfully applied to metric localization and mapping using stereo vision and omnivision. In this paper, we present an approach to Monte-Carlo localization using SIFT features for mobile robots equipped with a single perspective camera. First, we acquire a 2D grid map...
