Abstract

Recently, Virtual reality parts is applied in various fields of industry. In this paper we developed basic components for virtual robot control system interfaced with real environment. For this, a real robot with virtual interface module is developed and virtual robot of similar image with real robot is created by putting on 3D graphic texture to the real robot. To build an unknown environment to be linked with virtual environment, we proposed a hough transformation based algorithm. Our proposed algorithm consists of navigation module by using fuzzy engine and map building module. Experiments using a developed robot illustrate the method.
