Abstract
In this paper, we elicit a cost-effective design of a robot that is used to perform the tasks of the attender, a wheeled mobile robot. The two main challenging aspects of mobile robotics are to achieve localization and navigation. Localization determines the location of the robot with respect to its environment. Navigation is the movement of the robot from one location to the other. Here, the unique design and representation of the QR code helped us to localize and navigate the robot. A raspberry pi mounted with a camera is used to interface with the robot. The triangulation method is used to localize the robot. Dijkstra’s algorithm is used to compute the shortest path from source to destination. The system is monitored tested based on the feedback system established by the Hologram cellular USB modem. Experimental results show that this approach has good feasibility and effectiveness. The robot navigates through the shortest path, performs specified tasks, and returns to its source.
