초록

In this paper, we propose the sensor fusing method for the obstacle avoidance of guiding robot for the visually impaired In our system, we acquire obstacles distances information using ultrasonic sensors, and its width is acquired by image sensor. We also compute avoidance angle using are distance and width information gained by sensor. After the robot avoid the obstacle by computed angle, the robot returns to its original path using odometry. The robot consists of the SA1110-based controller, sensory part using sonar array and image sensor, and motion part using differential drive for climbing stairs. This system use the embedded linux for OS, and also is developed by the QT/Embedded for GUI.
