Abstract

In this paper, we present a holistic approach to enable mobile robots using video projection in a situation aware and dynamic way. Therefore, we show how to autonomously detect wall segments that are suitable to be used as projection target in a dynamic environment. We derive several quality measures to score the wall segments found in the local environment and show how these scores can be used by a particle swarm optimization to find the best local projection position for the mobile robot.
