Movement detection for object tracking applied to the InMoov robot head

Abstract

Machine vision is one of the most important tasks for the interaction between the robot and the environment, because it provides more information about the elements that exist there. The InMoov robot is the first life-size robot that can be produced by 3D printing and its design is open to the public. Between the following of the movement vector, the head control of this robot was implemented with the purpose of trackig the movement of an object. In the project the movement restrictions were taken corresponding to the range vision of the robot to develop the tracking and movement algorithms that will be aplied to the head movement of the robot under controlled conditions.
