Because the rotating mobile robot itself rotates, It is difficult to fix the viewpoint of the camera when moving and keep looking in a specific direction. However, when operating remotely in an environment where the robot cannot be seen directly, such as at a disaster site, Mounting the camera is essential. Therefore, it is necessary to fix the viewpoint of the camera in the rotating mobile robot. Currently, there is a projection method that places a spherical camera at the center of the sphere. How much the spherical camera interferes with the robot body. In addition, because the viewpoint fixation process is performed after projection, traditional viewpoint fixation methods cannot be processed in real time. It is not suitable for remote control of robots that require real-time properties. As described above, since the conventional method is not applied to fix the viewpoint of the camera of the rotating mobile robot, I need a new solution. In this research, we propose a new viewpoint fixation method to solve the above problem.
