Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents a vision-tracking system for mobile robots, which travel in a 3-dimentional environment. The developed system controls pan and tilt actuators attached to a camera so that a target is always directly in the line of sight of the camera. This is achieved by using data from robot wheel encoders, a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis gyroscope, pan and tilt motor encoders, and camera. The developed system is a multi-rate sampled data system, where the sampling rate of the camera is different with that of the other sensors. For the accurate estimation of the robot velocity, the developed system detects the slip of robot wheels, by comparing the data from the encoders and the accelerometer. The developed system estimates the target position by using an extended Kalman filter. The experiments are performed to show the tracking performance of the developed system in several motion scenarios, including climbing slopes and slip cases.KeywordsVision tracking systemSensor data fusionKalman filterSlip detection
