Abstract

We present our approach for experimental robotics based on real-time tracking vision and remote-brained design. A robot with remote-brained design does not bring its own brain within the body but leaves the brain in the mother environment. The robot talks with it by radio links. The brain is raised in the mother environment inherited over generations. The key idea of the remote-brained approach is that of interfacing intelligent software systems with real robot bodies through wireless technology. In this framework the robot system can have a powerful vision system in the brain environment. We have applied this approach toward the creation of vision-based dynamic and intelligent behaviors in various robot configurations. In this paper we introduce our robot vision system and the remote-brained approach and describe visual processes for vision-based behaviors with remote-brained robots.
