Study on the Computer Vision of the Biped Robot for Stable Walking on the Stairs

Abstract

Because of the social change and the advanced technologies, artificial intelligence technology has been developed rapidly. Robots are entering the human's living life soon. Biped robots are expected to be employed in some dangerous places. This study presented that the biped robot moved up and down stairs through computer vision. The processes included 1) Gray level co-occurrence matrix detected to move up or down; 2) Canny edge detection operator is adopted for the clear stair edge images; 3) Compute the distance between the stairs and the camera using the Zhang's calibration.
