# Mobile autonomous robot using the Kinect

[YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3DLVdcBmZg)
This project targets at applying the state-of-the-art technology in computer vision which is depth sensor equipped with RGB camera called Kinect. Kinect is not only normal camera sensor but also a special device can provide depth map. Depth map is acquired through OpenNI library then processed by Point Cloud library to extract accurate information about the environment.

## Paper and source code:
Below is my paper documented the features applied for autonomous robot to move within a indoor environment.

Full source code and thesis in details are available on the following github repository:
