Abstract: In this paper we describe a vision system based on combining a mobile autonomous robot and a hand-held Personal Data Assistant (PDA). All computation for control of the robot and vision are done on the robot and PDA. The TJ Pro™ can be outfitted with a HandSpring™ PDA and a digital camera (Eyemodule2™) to create a powerful vision equipped robot. Previously, outfitting a robot with vision required a large platform or off-robot computing power. With the vision and processing power of PDAs, low cost Mekatronix robots can perform complex vision functions at a fraction of the cost of current robots. Robots with vision will no longer be confined to large university research labs, NASA or the military. Robots with vision and artificial intelligence are now available to everyone.
