Validation of Fiducial Marker Systems Performance with Rescue Robot Servosila Engineer Onboard Camera in Laboratory Environment

Typical tasks of service robotics and special robotics fields, including Urban Search and Rescue, set a number of challenges for mobile robotics with automatic performance of various functions of mobile robots being a key task. To pursue automatic camera calibration processes using on-body markers in this paper we demonstrated results of validation experiments on mobile robot Servosila Engineer using fiducial markers, which we selected based on the results of virtual experiments with fiducial marker systems.
