A design for a ball collecting robot was presented.
The main function of the robot is to collect small colored tennis balls and store them into storage areas in a pre-specified track while avoiding black balls and the other robots.
The main purpose that the Robot used is to show the capability of imageprocessing techniques in real life applications.
The paper introduced a CAD model for the robot and the programming was done using Matlab and NXT-G.
The future work is to exploit the documentations within the scope of this paper to implement the robot and the online testing in various image processing environments for comparison.
This may also include the connection of another image acquisition device for three dimensional imaging.
