Abstract

This paper proposes a method for controlling a mobile robot using decentralized control based on signal from ceiling camera to remotely recognize simulated chemicals by color sensing. This camera recognizes a robot tag, which put on the robot, to specify the coordinate of the target and sends back to master computer. Based on this signal, the master computer controls the robot to the central of the coordinate where a chemical is put. Whenever moving to the expected position, the robot will open the gripper and grip the target. A slave computer analyzes the signal from an on-board spectrometer to recognize the target and send the result to the master one’s. Experiment results are proved to the applying ability of mobile robots to identify unknown targets.
Keywords: Camera coordinates, decentralized control, mobile robot, onboard spectrometer, robot’s tag, simulated chemicals
