Abstract:This paper describes a stereo-vision-based mobile robot that can navigate and explore its environment autonomously and safely and simultaneously building a tridimensional virtual map of the environment. The control strategy is rule-based and the interaction with robot is done via Bluetooth. The stereoscopic vision allows the robot to recognize objects and to determine the distance to the analyzed objects. The robot is able to generate and simultaneously update a full colour 3D map of the environment that is be… Show more
