DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING MOVEMENT OF TRANSPORTING ROBOT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G05D1/02 B25J13/08 

FIELD: engineering of equipment for controlling transporting means like robot-cars, moving along non-intersecting guiding lines.

SUBSTANCE: device contains optical block, device for forming video signals, transformer-amplifier, two comparison nodes, two adders, clock generator, counter, register and trigger. Robot movement route is made in form of light-contrasting strip with markers applied thereto. Optical block and video signals generator are made with possible scanning of light-contrasting strip. Selection of image contours is performed by serial processing of image row. At the same time coordinate of right edge of first light-contrasting strip is performed, and then its comparison to standard coordinate of right edge of full light-contrasting strip.

EFFECT: improved quality of control due to increased trustworthiness of image checks.
