Development of an autonomous mobile robot for floor marking

Abstract

During an exhibition, booths will be allocated for participants. These booths are where their work will be displayed. To construct these booths, organizers measure and mark the exhibition floor manually to determine the correct size of the booths. The purpose of this project is to develop an autonomous mobile robot to automate the process of measuring and marking the exhibition floor space to the correct predetermined size using the help of a video camera overlooking the exhibition floor, i.e. the robot will use machine vision to determine its position and to control its motion in marking the floor according to a predetermined floor plan.
