METHOD FOR AUTOMATED CONTROL OF ROBOTIC MEANS VIA RADIO LINK Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G05D1/10 G01C21/12 

FIELD: physics, control.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to surface robotic means of transporting a load to a given point in space, as well as delivering a robotic means to a given point to perform different functions without human presence. In the disclosed method, an operator denotes a landmark on pictures and also instructs the robotic means to move by a certain distance towards the selected landmark and specifies the trajectory of movement. Further, using an on-board control device, the robotic means is turned in order to move on the given trajectory, wherein the movement of the image of the landmark is monitored on digital images from on-board video cameras. Further, the robotic means is moved on the given trajectory while constantly calculating the distance to the landmark, as well as the position of the landmark in the viewing field of the video cameras and the scale thereof on the correct trajectory, wherein during movement of the robotic means, the control device is used to minimise the difference between the expected position of the centre of the landmark or endpoints thereof and the real observed position of the centre of the landmark or endpoints thereof.

EFFECT: high efficiency of controlling robotic means.
