Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm for trajectory planning of a mobile robot to move indoor using computer vision. The algorithm helps the robot move in its working environment while performing basic tasks such as navigation, localization, obstacle avoidance, object and goal recognition. The image processing algorithms were performed using the Open CV. The result was verified on a real mobile robot operating with client/server mechanism. The control program used the open source code built for the real mobile robot that assembles the common Player/stage. The experiment result showed that with information from the camera, the robot could move to a known goal provided that the robot was given the position of the goal and important beacons on its path.
