METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GUIDING AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT

摘要

PURPOSE:To move an autonomous mobile robot to a position close to a guiding target without using any mark for identification of positions by catching the target on a monitor screen using the template image data. CONSTITUTION:An image processing system included in a visual system 11 applies the membership function of a fuzzy set to the standard graphic data of an air nozzle (guiding target) 90 and generates the template image data. The degree of adaptation set between the image which is photographed by a CCD camera 24 and projected on a monitor and the membership function of the template image data is supplied to a neural network. Then the template image data are moved through an image memory on a monitor screen in the direction that is previously learnt by a back propagation method. Thus the target 90 is accurately detected and catched. Then a shift system 12 is driven by a control system 15.
