Development of a mobile service robot for classify objects and place them in containers
In this article is presented the development process of a service mobile robot with differential locomotion, equipped with a small onboard computer, a camera and a clamp. The details of hardware, software development environment and algorithms are described for performing simple tasks such as locating objects of certain color, pick up these objects and transfer them to another place(in this case the object is moved to a container with the same color of the object) The task for the mobile robot is find small balls and place them in containers with the same color of the ball. Is used parallel programming in the process to perform the task with the goal of making decisions in real time. The aim to show the details of construction of this autonomous mobile robot, this article aims to promote the development of advanced prototypes of mobile robots by students of high schools and universities in the west central region of Mexico in order to increase the number of participants and the level in regional competitions.
