In this chapter, we saw vision sensors to be used in our robot. We used Kinect in our robot and discussed OpenCV, OpenNI, PCL and their application. We also discussed the role of vision sensors in robot navigation and a popular SLAM technique and its application using ROS. In the next chapter, we will discuss speech processing and synthesis to be used in this robot.
