Title: Vision guided autonomous robots
Post by: Dips on November 09, 2009, 11:57:14 PM

Has any one tried vision guided autonomous robots. I detail: real time image processing for autonomous navigation of a robot. I have to work on this kinda problem. Please share your ideas if you have any.

So, you want your robot to navigate using vision?

not tried yet..but i've made a laser range finder using webcam and laser pointer..its quite accurate within 100 cm of range and can easly find the obstracles. I'm thinking of integrating it with a arduino based robot using wirelss webcam and my robot will roam about autonomously  8) 8) 8)

You can check out the concept and design @ http://www.corpogeek.com/2009/10/range-finder-using-webacm-and-laser.html (http://www.corpogeek.com/2009/10/range-finder-using-webacm-and-laser.html).

or check out the video of range finder :-   ;)

Hey
I am new to this site and new to programing.
Any chance I could see you program? I would like to see the code step by step to know what is happening.

Thanks

I am about to start building a vision guided robot for a competition. I plan to use the OpenCV library to help me with the code. I just bought a book to learn it.
