Research on planet rover robot arm vision localization

According to the application of the planet detection, visual localization of the planet rover was studied in this paper. A corresponding robot arm plane localization simulation system for real rover robot arm based on stereo vision and virtual reality was developed. The system provided motion parameters of virtual robot arm to real arm by means of off-line teaching, which ensured the rover´s safety. The visual orientation theory and the simulation system realization based on OpenGL were introduced in detail. The united experiments between real and virtual systems were made and the high orientation precision was gotten, which verified the validity of the scheme inversely.
