Method for searching target object and following motion thereof through stereo vision processing and home intelligent service robot using the same
First Claim
1. An intelligent service robot comprising:
- a driver for moving an intelligent service robot according to an input moving instruction;
a vision processor for capturing images through at least two or more cameras in response to a capturing instruction for following a target object, minimizing the information amount of the captured image, and discriminating objects in the image into the target object and obstacles; and
a robot controller for providing the capturing instruction for following the target object in a direction of collecting instruction information to the vision processor when the instruction information is collected from outside, and controlling the intelligent service robot to follow and move the target object while avoiding obstacles based on the discriminating information from the vision processor.

Abstract
A home intelligent service robot for recognizing a user and following the motion of a user and a method thereof are provided. The home intelligent service robot includes a driver, a vision processor, and a robot controller. The driver moves an intelligent service robot according to an input moving instruction. The vision processor captures images through at least two or more cameras in response to a capturing instruction for following a target object, minimizes the information amount of the captured image, and discriminates objects in the image into the target object and obstacles. The robot controller provides the capturing instruction for following the target object in a direction of collecting instruction information to the vision processor when the instruction information is collected from outside, and controls the intelligent service robot to follow and move the target object while avoiding obstacles based on the discriminating information from the vision processor.
