Autonomous rover controlled by NAO

Abstract

In this project, a new approach of a Humanoid robot controlled mobile platform is presented. The robot we are using is Nao by Aldebaran Robotics. The main reason for choosing Nao is for its flexibility and versatility. Nao’s wide range of movements allows it to perform a steering mechanism in a real world. The Driving behavior for Nao is done by using NAOqi python SDK and through using Raspberry Pi controller interface. We use the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor for obstacle range detection in the navigation system to avoid the obstacle in real time. The system architecture and algorithms used in each stage are described in this project.
