Vision-based obstacle avoidance
John Kenneth Galbraith · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 2023
A method for allowing a robot to avoid objects along a programmed path: first, a field of view for an electronic imager of the robot is established along a path where the electronic imager obtains the object location information within the field of view; second, a population coded control signal is then derived from the object location information and is transmitted to the robot; finally, the robot then responds to the control signal and avoids the detected object.
