Abstract


War, automation of industrial processes and space exploration motivated the development of technological tools aimed at solving these problems. From this perspective, a mobile robotic system capable of using user-built paths based on computational vision was proposed. This work uses images to identify the path and provide inputs to the fuzzy controller. Tests were performed comparing the movement of the robot with the ideal path in order to evaluate controller behavior and to validate the system created besides bringing improvements to the efficiency of the same.
