Project Description
En aquest projecte s'aborda el problema de la navegació en entorns no estructurats en els que l'us de rodes pot presentar dificultats i en els que resulta ventatjós l'ús de robots amb potes.
Si bé l'informació sobre l'entorn immediat del robot, necessaria per controlar els moviments a curt plaç, s'obtindrà mitjançant sensors locals de relativamente curt alcanç, simples i fàcils d'interpretar (sensors de força, contacte, infrarroigs, ultrasons, etc.), l'información de més llarg alcanç, que servirà per determinar la ruta a seguir, s'obtindrà amb un sistema de visió estéreo, que es controlarà mitjançant tècniques de visió activa, a fi de facilitar l'obtenció de l'informació de l'entorn que resulti més relevant en cada moment.
