This article describes the development of a mobile robot follower of the AGV type symbol (Guiding Autonomous Vehicles). The robot is composed of two parts: hardware and software. The hardware consists of a local computer that processes the images that are sent from a mobile camera with Android operating system and the Arduino responsible for reading all sensors and control actuators. The software consists of computer vision algorithms which we used the OpenCV library (Open Computer Vision liberary) for application of algorithms such as: Hough Transform, Gaussian Filter Smooth and InRange operation to identify the symbol to be followed by the robot.
