Abstract
In this research, a hemispherical autonomous robot equipped with a large number of LEDs has been developed and the new entertainment system has been created. Authors have developed the robot that a lot of LEDs are mounted on the surface for three years, and have solved some technical problems for these robots. Characteristics and technical problems of each robot are discussed in this thesis. In the first year, the fundamental concept of robot was designed, and the prototype of the robot was created. We worked on the development of the luminescence control system of full color LEDs and the intercommunication system using wireless LAN network in the second year. We have examined the motion path correction method that uses the Bezier curve and the system by which two or more robots obtain their position information from the image processing system. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the validity of the present robot for the new entertainment system.
