Paper Abstract:
|
In the current work we have focused the applied computing problems connected with the emerging of modern generic robots in households and small offices. Due to the complexity and non-static environment in everyday households, any robots abilities to orientate itself in a home environment and recognize different types of objects in its surroundings are vital for more advanced operation. Combining these demands with mass-market solutions, which rule out most of todays more specialized techniques, and instead requires COTS-based solutions due to economic restrictions. This paper proposes and presents the software integration of an Object Detecting Mobile Robot (ODMR) with object recognition capabilities fully based on the integration and adaptation of COTS-products. The robot can orient, move, search and find objects of arbitrary shapes. Experimental results shows that a complex robotic system with functionality like many of the more expensive projects have, can be built with success from COTS products and limited resources. All aspects of the integration and necessary adaptations were possible to carry out successfully. |
