Within the area of environmental perception, automatic navigation, object detection, and computervision are crucial and demanding fields with many applications in modern industries, such as multi-target long-term visual tracking in automated production, defect detection, and driverless robotic vehicles. The performance of computervision has greatly improved recently thanks to developments in deep learning algorithms and hardware computing capabilities, which have spawned the creation of a large number of related applications. At the same time, with the rapid increase in autonomous systems in the market, energy consumption has become an increasingly critical issue in computervision and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms. This paper presents the results of a detailed review of over 100 papers published over the course of two decades (1999-2024), with a primary focus on the technical advancement in computervision. To elucidate the foundational principles, an examination of typical visual algorithms based on traditional correlation filtering was initially conducted. Subsequently, a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art advancements in deep learning-based computervisiontechniques was compiled. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of conventional and novel algorithms was undertaken to discuss the future trends and directions of computervision. Lastly, the feasibility of employing visual SLAM algorithms in the context of autonomous vehicles was explored. Additionally, in the context of intelligentrobots for low-carbon, unmanned factories, we discussed model optimization techniques such as pruning and quantization, highlighting their importance in enhancing energy efficiency. We conducted a comprehensive comparison of the performance and energy consumption of various computervisionalgorithms, with a detailed exploration of how to balance these factors and a discussion of potential future development trends.

Existing studies on indoor position recognition employ diverse evaluation methods, which complicates direct accuracy comparisons across techniques. To address this issue, this study proposes a novel framework for evaluating the accuracy of indoor position recognition methods. The proposed framework evaluates accuracy by using the position recognition results of a grid-pattern-tracking autonomous mobile robot (GPT-AMR) as a benchmark. To validate the proposed evaluation method, a comparative analysis was conducted on four position recognition algorithms: (1) a computervision-based algorithm, (2) a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based trilateration algorithm, (3) a BLE-based adaptive trilateration algorithm, and (4) a least squares method (LSM)-based algorithm. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed evaluation method, which employs GPT-AMR, offers improved speed, accuracy, and practical applicability compared to conventional approaches. Furthermore, this method enables objective comparisons and evaluations of a wide range of indoor position recognition technologies, including both computervision- and BLE-based algorithms, using a standardized criterion. Future research will focus on systematically validating the generalizability of the proposed method across different indoor environments and operational conditions. This study aims to advance indoor position recognition technology for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and improve their applicability in various service robotics domains.

In robotics, route planning is essential to ensure the safe and efficient movement of robots within the workplace. This process involves determining a trajectory, usually a series of points in the workspace, to achieve a specific goal. It is essential to consider criteria such as reducing the length of the route, the number of manoeuvres and the avoidance of obstacles. Route planning techniques generally require modelling the environment, representing both the structure and the obstacles (fixed or mobile), and the implementation of algorithms that generate the trajectory through the free areas of the environment. This approach often includes constructing a graph of possible trajectories and using minimum path search algorithms, such as A*. This article presents a route planning algorithm that uses Voronoi diagrams and uses artificial visionalgorithms. In addition, a case study is described in which the proposed technique is applied to guide an automated system through a maze drawn on a whiteboard by a user.

The demand for mobile robotics applications has grown considerably in recent years, especially due to the advent of industry 4.0, which has as one of its pillars the autonomous robotics field, the subject of this research. In this context, autonomous mobile robots must interact with the world to achieve their goals. One of the main challenges regarding mobile robots is the navigation problem: a robot can face several problems according to the type of sensor that is chosen in each application. The use of computervision as a navigation tool in robotics represents an interesting alternative for controlling the movement of a mobile robot, and represent several visiontechniques that gained more space in the last few years. Therefore, this work's research proposes the development of a control center to assist navigation and location of mobile robots in closed environments using the global view technique. In addition to computervision, wireless communication (WiFi) between the exchange and the robots has been investigated to date. The results obtained in the initial steps of the project's development were promising, in which data from an autonomous robot is compared with a human-guided robot. Through the algorithm developed for the project, it was possible to transform the collected data into the robot's kinematics necessary to take the correct path to the destination using multivalued logic as a control algorithm. The optimization of the trajectory between the origin and the destination is performed using the A* and Dijkstra algorithms for calculating the shortest path.

Automation and human-robot collaboration are increasing in modern workplaces such as industrial manufacturing. Nowadays, humans rely heavily on advanced robotic devices to perform tasks quickly and accurately. Modern robots with computervision and artificial intelligence are gaining attention and popularity rapidly. This paper demonstrates how a robot can automatically detect an object's shape, color, and size using computervisiontechniques and act based on information feedback. In this work, a powerful computational model for a robot has been developed that distinguishes an object's shape, size, and color in real time with high accuracy. Then it can integrate a robotic arm to pick a specific object. A dataset of 6558 images of various monochromatic objects has been developed, containing three colors against a white background and five shapes for the research. The designed system for detection has achieved 99.8% success in an object's shape detection. Also, the system demonstrated 100% success in the object's color and size detection with the OpenCV image processing framework. On the other hand, the prototype robotic system based on Raspberry Pi-4B has achieved 80.7% accuracy for geometrical shape detection and 81.07%, and 59.77% accuracy for color recognition and distance measurement, respectively. Moreover, the system guided a robotic arm to pick up the object based on its color and shape with a mean response time of 19 seconds. The idea is to simulate a workplace environment where a worker will ask the robotic systems to perform a task on a specific object. Our robotic system can accurately identify the object's attributes (e.g., 100%) and is able to perform the task reliably (81%). However, reliability can be improved by using a more powerful computing system, such as the robotic prototype. The article's contribution is to use a cutting-edge computervision technique to detect and categorize objects with the help of a small private dataset to shorten the trai

Being able to experience emotions is a defining characteristic of machine intelligence, and the first step in giving robots emotions is to enable them to accurately recognize and understand human emotions. The initial task to achieve this is to quantify abstract human emotions into concrete data. Combining this with deep learning techniques, a variety of machine models for recognizing human emotions can be constructed to achieve efficient human-robot interaction. Along this line of thought, this paper comprehensively combs through the development paths of emotion quantification, emotion modeling, and machine emotion recognition models based on various signals with practical examples. We focus on summarizing the machine emotion recognition models in recent years, classifying them into four broad categories according to the input signals: vision-based, language-based, physiological signal-based emotion recognition models and multimodal emotion recognition models for in-depth discussion, revealing the strengths and weaknesses of these models and potential application *** particular, this study identifies multimodal emotion recognition models as a key direction for future research, which significantly improve recognition accuracy and robustness by integrating multiple data sources. Finally, the article discusses the challenges and improvement directions for emotion recognition models, providing an important reference for promoting intelligent and emotional human-computer interaction. Figure 1. shows the framework of this paper.
