Path Generation and Map Construction for Mobile Robot Navigation

Abstract

Vision based mobile robot navigation is one of the important because the robots can resolve lots of problems in which human life is dangerous, difficult and costly. A difficult problem is to make a vision-based robot navigate properly to the target by avoiding the obstacles. Path information is very essential for successful navigation of the robot. The main purpose of this paper is to present an approach for mobile robots to generate path and construct maps. This work is focused on providing the path information of an environment using a single 2-D camera. Whenever robot identifies the human in the corridor, it generates the information of the path information and constructs the map is achieved based on the human moment and the human position. On the robot the camera is mounted which acquires images in real time. Oath information is generated for mobile robot using acquired real time images and processing real time images.
