Development of a Vision System for a Floor Marking Mobile Robot

Abstract

Participants of an exhibition are usually provided with booths to display their work. Workers usually consturuct these booths by measuring the exhibition floor by hand and marking the floor to determine the size of the booths. This project aims to develop a system that uses video cameras overlooking the exhibition floor to automate the process of measuring and marking the exhibition floor space to the correct predetermined size, i.e. the robot will use machine vision to determine its position and to control its motion in marking the floor according to a predetermined floor plan.
