Prototype Robot for Computer Vision and Control Systems Applications

Abstract

This paper describes a robot designed and developed by a student in the context of an Electronic Engineering degree course. This robot is composed by three wheels, two of them can be controlled inde- pendently and the third one is used for stability. The robot also includes a webcam provided with pan and tilt control. This work was focused on the implementation of a prototype useful for academic research in the areas of Computer Vision and Control Systems Dynamics. In this document, the main characteristics of this robot are described.Sociedad Argentina de Informática e Investigación Operativa (SADIO
