Zhisheng Zhang · Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Magazine · 2009
Aiming at presenting assistant to elderly people in daily life,using vision navigation system,the hardware based on ARM and digital signal processor(DSP) dual embedded microprocessor was designed.A service robot called Service No.1 which can realize reaching and grasping known everyday objects in home structured environment was developed.Moving on wheels,using new structure with two different arms of multi-degree-of-freedom,the robot which travels autonomously and quickly can complete arriving and operating daily objects in coordination,while avoiding obstacles in structure environment.The experiment result shows that the research lays the foundation of the study of the vision servo robot.
