Building a micro-processor based mobile robot using computer vision

Abstract

This project presents the concepts and techniques used for the design and implementation of an autonomous mobile robot platform able to navigate, detect and avoid obstacles in an unknown environment using computer vision. The first part of this project proposes the strategy used for the detection of obstacles using only a camera as sensor, implemented on a Raspberry microprocessor. The second part consists of the avoidance of the obstacles found by dealing with the read of digital data from the camera and processes them in order to make the right decisions to permit the robot to reach its goal. The work will be achieved with an experimental platform realization of the robot.
