Research on esplanade-cleaning robot´s target recognition

A kind of high-efficient target recognition algorithm has been worked out, which is on the basis of developing a esplanade-cleaning robotic prototype with a visual function. Based on the difference in value and target tricolor ratio, the robot can accurately identify the target garbage within its vision quickly. By the least squares method fitting that the target range, robot can accurately drive to the target position and control its manipulator to pick up the target rubbish. This algorithm could make the cleaning-robots working in outdoor plaza independently and without blindness, which can not only improve the efficiency, but also save energy greatly.
