Research on intelligent excavating robot based on binocular visual recognition technique

Abstract

Inordertoperformexcavatingoperationunderunattendedcondition,anew intelligent excavating robot with a binocular vision system is developed.It can capture real-time images around the robot,get the stereo coordinate of the feature point of the excavating targets and program the operation automatically based on the calculation results.Experimental results indicate the validity in real-time performance and precision of the vision system.The intelligent excavating robot can remarkably ease the labor intensity and enhance the working efficiency.It will make great contribution to improve intellectualized levels and automation of construction machinery.
