Mobile Robot Guidance By Visual Perception

Abstract

Guidance of autonomons transport systems used in flexible manufacturing systems is usually performed by using either photoelectric cells or leading wires. This work refer to the system developped to track painted strips on the floor by means of a TV camera. The system designed is able to recognize and identify a pattern on the floor in a factory environment and to deal with the guidance of a transport system according to the commands received from the control unit which establishes its itinerary.
