Robot's Video Camera

The mobile platform has one TV camera onboard mounted on a pan-and-tilt unit. The camera provides a view of the surrounding environment as seen from the platform.

A graphical interface was built to provide visual feedback to the operator. It is possible to visualize the image from the camera as well as steering the pan-and-tilt unit.

The images acquired from the robot's video camera are transmitted through a wireless video connection to a third computer. The images are encoded and pushed to the Internet using the Microsoft Netshow with RealVideo.
