Developments of drawing capability for Nao humanoid robot

Abstract

This thesis describes and introduces the drawing capability of robots that can draw based on what it sees. The user draws some simple shapes on the whiteboard which is placed in front of the robot. Consequently the robot observes the drawing, takes a snapshot of it, extracts the features of the subject from the drawing, such as contours and corner points, then calculates the arm movements and lets the robot recreate it on paper as accurate as possible. During the project, an Aldebaran Nao robot generation 5 was used.
