Abstract

This article shows the development and experiment of using image processing techniques applied to robot tracking an object by color identifying, using PIC18F2550 microcontroller and webcam. The robot model developed is able to identify the primary colors of each pixel, captured through a webcam. The first step in the development of this project was the choice of the PIC18F2550 microcontroller due to its versatility of direct communication with the computer via USB. The central part of the project is developed in Matlab code which together with the microcontroller program, resulting to drive on DC motors. Once detected the preset color pixels, the robot can turn left or right and forward, rewind or stop, depending on the movement and spatial location of the object under study and the area captured the image.
