Abstract :
This paper presents a novel vision system design for the Rubik´s cube robot. The vision system is implemented on an ARM9 platform. The s3c2440 development board was cut to meet hardware system, including the core-board, the bottom board, touch screen, USB camera and other interfaces. The principle of the vision system can be described as follows: Six image of the Rubik´s cube are captured by the USB camera. Each block on the cube is segmented and determined via a proposed image segmentation algorithm and labeled. And then, an artificial intelligence search reduction algorithm is introduced to restore the Rubik´s cube.
