CREATING CONTROL ALGORITHMS FOR ROBOTIC VISION
The main purpose of this research is to have a better understanding of control systems and its interactions with communication networks. This is achieved by controlling a robot (the Pioneer 2) with a Linux computer, fixed with video and sonar. Information from the video and sonar goes to the microcontroller then to the Linux computer, which goes over a wireless Internet to finally a client computer. At the client computer sonar feedback and video is displayed for the user. An algorithm that is based off of older models controls this whole process. Incorporating sonar feedback tells the robot its distance from an object and then tells it to move in the appropriate direction. Video gives the robot a window to the real world, telling the robot what exactly is in front of it and possibly the distance from an object. Both systems are pretty accurate in telling the robot its new position relative to its environment.
