PROJECT    ROBOT VISION

This project aims to develop an intelligent video surveillance system to detect indoor/outdoor anomalous events using swarm robots. The specific objectives of this project are: 

• Development of Formation, Path Planning, and Navigation Controller for Active Swarm Robots

• Development of Moving Object Detection and Tracking System based on Swarm Robots

• Development of Adaptive Video Surveillance System using Navigation of Swarm Robots

We aim to develop an intelligent management system for environment-adaptive video surveillance using a multi-robot system, a video analysis system, and a remote monitoring system. Figure shows the final goal and application plan of this research project. We developed a system capable of monitoring the whole area by solving the problems of the existing surveillance system through the prior art and operating it in a real environment. 

 In this study, we establish a formation control for swarm robots to maintain a formation with a certain shape, path planning, and navigation controller to find an optimal path from the initial state to the target state in the first year. Then, we develop a multi-object detection and tracking system in the second year. In the third year, we developed an adaptive video surveillance system using autonomous mobile robots based on the first and second-year technology and developed a scalable video surveillance system to develop a remote monitoring system.
