Abstract

As one of today's popular research field, mobile robots, are widely used in entertainment, search and rescue, health, military, agriculture and many other fields with the advantages of technological developments. Object detection is one of the methods used for mobile robots to gather and report information about its environment during those tasks. With the ability to detect and classify objects, a robot can determine the type and number of objects around it and use this knowledge in its movement and path planning or reporting the objects with the desired features. Considering the dimensions of mobile robots and weight constraints of flying robots, the use of these algorithms is more limited. While the size and weight of mobile devices should be kept relatively small, successful object classification algorithms require processors with high computational power. In this study, to be able to use object detection information for mapping and path planning object detection and classification methods were examined, and for the usage in low weight and low energy consuming platforms through developer boards, detection algorithms were compared to each other.
