Description
Summary:The purpose of the report is to show a complete system for global navigation for mobile robot. The navigation system enables the robot to determine one's position in absolute and to move to a desired destination point. The main objective of this project is to navigate safely and reliably in their environments using the C programming language. In addition, the global navigation will concentrate on vision aspect since it was the important part compared to other parts. The advantage of this vision aspect lies in their ability to directly provide information about the surrounding area especially in unknown environment. The vision part such as digital color camera is used to detect the objects, walking path, etc while vision sensor is used to capture image features or regions that match the landmarks or maps. Plus, an infrared PSD sensor also is included for obstacle detection. The C programming language will consist of how to move full cycle for wheel robot and the navigation system to move the mobile robot including the direction, speed and other parameters. An interface between C programming language and EyeBot will occur in order for the mobile robot to navigate safely regarding to the coding added. The result of the mobile robot using vision based positioning is that it can travel safely in any place until it reaches the goal destination.
