In this paper a hybrid sensor system for the house keeping robot is proposed using vision and ultrasonic sensors to navigate around obstacles and to pick up objects. To pickup objects, ascertaining the exact location of the object is of prime importance. This can be accomplished by computing the 3D coordinates of the object. The navigation task for robots involves the detection of obstacles or objects in the traversable path. Images of objects and obstacles are captured using vision sensors, segmented from background and processed to extract features which are fed to a neural network to recognize and differentiate between obstacles and objects. A recognition accuracy of 100% with an error tolerance of 0.001 is achieved. The centroid of the segmented object is computed to give the x, y and z coordinates of the object location. 2009-12-11T03:49:21Z 2009-12-11T03:49:21Z 2009-03-06 Working Paper p.55-58 978-1-4244-4151-8 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?=&arnumber=5069188 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/7402 en Proceedings of the 5th International Colloquium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (CSPA 2009) Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE)
