Straight-Line Mobile Robot Using Image Processing Technique

Abstract

This project applied image-processing technique to design the straight-line tracking mobile robot application by designing two algorithms, which are, straightline detection and motor control algorithms. In the straight-line detection algorithm, the camera will be captured and sent the image of straight-line pathway to MATLAB. Valuable information will be extracted from the image. In this process the information will be used to control mobile robot in motor control algorithm application. The accuracy of the straight-line mobile robot’s movement is depends on these algorithms. Based on the result, accuracy of the straight-line mobile robot algorithms have been proven high due to small differences between actual and average degrees. The motor control algorithm has been proven accurate in recover mobile robot’s path. These algorithms also have been implemented in the graphical user interface and are fully used to control the mobile robot.
