An intelligent mobile robot golfing system using binocular stereovision

摘要

This paper describes a robot vision golfing system. The ARNIE P^τ (Automated Robotic Navigational unit with IntelligentEye and Putter) project was initiated to investigate the problems anddevelop software solutions for robotic tasks that require good hand-eyecoordination and an intelligent feedback mechanism. This system has onlyone frame buffer and no specialized hardware, so quasi-real-time 3Dtracking is accomplished in software using the unix spline facility.Golf is a difficult perceptory task which requires the integration ofmany complicated computational tasks. It is therefore a good platform toexperiment with artificial intelligence techniques and robotics
