Abstract
This paper proposes an automated mobile robot indoor system. A web camera sensor is equipped to detect the current location of the vehicle. The web camera is located above to capture the object and environment for mapping. The images come from the web camera via a USB interface to the computer. The image processing method is used to determine the position of the mobile robot for giving the input of path planning. The microcontroller obtains interactive actions with the combinations of image processing and suitable path planning to control the direction of the mobile robot. The experimental results show that the vision system can interact with the microcontroller. The robot can move automatically from the starting point to the goal.
