Abstract
A tour guide robot with image system is implemented in this paper. The principal aim is the application of a shape recognition method so that the robot can move autonomously. In addition, to abandon the conventional rail-type tracking control, we propose a fixed path planning to let the robot move autonomously along the desired path. The validity of the proposed shape recognition method is verified by means of a practical testing on a tour guide robot with POB system. The experimental results validate the practicality of the shape recognition and the path planning technology applied to robots.
