Design and Development of Efficient Guidance System Using Multi-functional Robot with Quadcopter

Abstract

This paper introduces the design and development of QMRS (Quadcopter Mobile Robotic System). QMRS is a real-time obstacle avoidance capability in Belarus-132N mobile robot with the cooperation of quadcopter Phantom-2. The main objective of this research paper is to identify the method involving the use of vision and image processing system from both robot and quadcopter; analyzing path in real-time and avoiding obstacles based-on the computational algorithm embedded inside the robot. In addition, it focuses on the full coordination between robot and quadcopter by designing an efficient wireless communication using WIFI. QMRS increases the efficiency and reliability of the whole system especially in robot navigation, image processing and obstacle avoidance due to the help and connection among the different parts of the system.
