Abstract;This paper presents autonomous navigation of mobile robot using Wide Angle Foveated Vision Sensor(WAFVS) system with a special optical system designed by mimicking a human eye. WAFVS system carries out parallel image processing based on multi-task OS and LAN for cooperation between central vision and peripheral vision in order to make the most of characteristics of the system. As an example of the execution, experiments of navigation are carried out to obtain an image with sufficient resolution for face recognition, while a camera gazes at and tracks a human face by a proposed method characterized by WAFVS.
