In this paper, a development of the sensor fusion algorithm for a visual control of mobile robot is presented. The visual sensor gives many kinds of valuable information and is especially important for the autonomously controlled mobile robots. The output data from the visual sensor include a time-lag due to the image processing computation. Moreover, in most cases, the sampling rate of the uisual sensor is considerably low so that it should be used with other sensors to control fast motion. The development of an algorithm to integmte the dota from multi-sensor system to obtain the optimal estimate of the state variables is a very important problem. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a method which constitutes a sensor fusion system to give the optimal state estimates. The proposed SenSOT fusion system combines the visual sensor and inertial sensor using a modified Kalman filter. A kind of multi-rate Ifalman filter ,which treats the slow sampling rate data from visual sensor is applied for the construction of the sensor fusion system. A n important feature of the multi-mte version of Kalman filter is the use of time-varying filter gain matrix.An expenmental mobile robot is developed which realizes a sensor fusion system combining a vision sensor system and an inertial sensor system. Experimental results show that the proposed sensor fusion algorithm gives the good estimates of the state variables combining the data from CCD camem images and the inertial sensors.
