Abstract

This article presents the development of the SUT-CARG car-like robot system. CARG car-like robots consist of four mobile robot agents and are built as integrated systems with IR, sonar, ultrasonic, vision sensors and controller modules. Hardware details are given. The software interface module for commanding the robots is described. The article also presents the details of robot following control which utilizes geometrical control approach based on vision and image processing. Colour tracking and flocking of the robot agents are demonstrated (VDO available online http://www.sut.ac.th/engineering/electrical/carg/).
