Robot path planning using 2D image processing in a drawing application

Sammanfattning: Currently, robotics is a discipline that is present, and it is becoming more important in daily life and different areas. Moreover, the research in this field is making improvements on the tasks that robots can perform, making it possible to appear in disciplines that have typically been made by humans, such as Art. In this project, it has been developed and implemented a program that allows the creation of paths after processing a picture, and the control of a real robot to follow the generated paths, in this case, the objective is to perform a sketch from a given picture. Nevertheless, it is applicable in many areas that need this kind of application like processing images, identification of trajectories, and path following. Moreover, in this project, it has been developed to simulate in a virtual environment the path planning and all the features of the real robot, which suppose that the user can check trajectories before trying on the real world, avoid problems of collisions or work without needing the physical robot. For that reason, the objective of this project is to contribute to the development of robotics and create a base that could be used in future research or as a source of information for similar projects that will be performed in the future.
