2A2-K10 Extraction of Environmental Information based on Evolutionary Robot Vision

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the evolutionary robot vision in order to perceive the environment around a mobile robot. We developed a tele-operated mobile robot with a pan-tilt mechanism composed with camera and laser range finder (LRF). Output of the camera is the information of color, and output of LRF is the information of distance to objects from the robot. Furthermore, we propose a method of sensor fusion to extract a human from the measured data by integrating outputs of camera and LRF.
