A mobile robot with autonomous recognition and automatic clearing small advertisements on the ground is presented. It’s the service-oriented robot for cleaning of small advertisements. The robot body is designed according to the design requirements of clearing and the control strategies for tracing and recognition small advertisements are proposed. The key issue of the robot is the hardware design for moving clean assisted by vision system and corresponding recognition methods. The results show the feasibility of the hardware structure, circuit design and program algorithm.

We developed an autonomous mobile robot with neural network (NN) vision that searches for and collects golf balls on an open or an indoor golf driving range. The robot recognizes range borderlines by red stripes. Scattered golf balls are collected using mechanically designed rotating blades. The NN vision identifies objects that are not golf balls and prevents the robot from picking them. The vision system is robust enough to navigate an open field and pick up the golf balls any time of day. Results of the experiments showed that our proposal operates accurately and reliably.

Problem. Laser scanning devices are widely used in Machine Vision Systems (MVS) of an autonomous mobile robot for solving SLAM problems. One of the concerns with MVS operation is the ability to detect relatively small obstacles. This requires scanning a limited sector within the field of view or even focusing on a specific point of space. The accuracy of the laser beam positioning is hampered by various kinds of uncertainties both due to the model simplifying and using inaccurate values of its parameters, as well as lacking information about perturbations. Goal. This paper presents the improvement of the MVS, described in previous works of the authors, by robust control of the DC motor, which represents the Positioning Laser drive. Methodology. For this purpose, a DC motor model is built, taking into account the parametric uncertainty. A robust digital PD controller for laser positioning is designed, and a comparative evaluation of the robust properties of the obtained control system with a classical one is carried out. The PWM signal formation by the microcontroller and processes in the H-bridge are also taken into account. Results. The obtained digital controller meets the transient process and accuracy requirements and combines the simplicity of a classic controller with a weak sensitivity to the parametric uncertainties of the drive model. Originality. The originality of the paper is in its focus on the MVS of the autonomous mobile robot developed by the authors. Practical value. The implementation of the MVS with the proposed controller will increase the reliability of obstacles detection within a robot field of view and the accuracy of environment mapping.

Bio-Mimetic Vision System (BMVS) for AutonomousMobile Robot Navigation encompasses three major fields, namelyrobotics, navigation and obstacle avoidance. Bio-mimetic vision isbased on stereo vision. Summation of Absolute Difference (SAD)is applied on the images from the two cameras and disparity mapis generated which is then used to navigate and avoid obstacles.Camera calibration and SAD is applied on Matlab software.AT89C52 microcontroller, along with Matlab, is used to efficientlycontrol the DC motors mounted on the robot frame. It is observedfrom experimental results that the developed system effectivelydistinguishes objects at different distances and avoids them whenthe path is blocked.

Position And Orientation

This paper describes a navigation system for an autonomous mobile robot in outdoors. The robot uses vision to detect landmarks and DGPS information to determine its initial position and orientation. The vision system detects landmarks in the environment by referring to an environmental model. As the robot moves, it calculates its position by conventional dead reckoning, and matches landmarks to the environmental model to reduce error in position calculation. The robot's initial position and orientation are calculated from coordinates of the first and second locations acquired by DGPS. Subsequent orientations and positions are derived by map matching. We implemented the system on a mobile robot, Harunobu 6. Experiments in real environments verified the effectiveness of our proposed navigation.
