Abstract: To date, the problem of developing systems, algorithms and methods for spatial orientation and navigation of robots remains one of the most urgent problems. The subject of the study are multi-angle and bipolar systems of technical vision, as well as an algorithm for the formation of 3D models of the surface of objects. The author examines in detail such aspects in the development of mobile robots, as ways of obtaining information about the three-dimensional scene, estimation of the depth of the scene, integration, the method of constructing epipolar lines, some elements of virtual reality are touched upon. Applied approaches in the work are based on the methods of digital image processing, image recognition, discrete transformations and system analysis, a method for constructing epipolar lines is given. The work also considers the formation of 3D models of the surface of the object in the systems of technical vision, applied to mobile robots, an algorithm for determining the distance to the points on the surface of the object in the systems of technical vision on the mobile robot. The results of the research can be applied in systems for modernizing the management, monitoring and processing of information, providing more accurate technical vision in the development of mobile and autonomous robots, which in turn can affect the import substitution and the overall economic component of the use and development of robotic systems and systems.

Abstract: In robotics complexes as in the living world, the main kind of sensation is vision. The first systems of technical (computer) vision used in the means of robotics copied the organs of vision of living organisms and have evolved in a following sequence: black and white monocular vision systems, color, stereoscopic and multi-angle systems with various options for hardware implementation. The article points out some aspects of the historical course of events in development of vision systems. The author analyses existing approaches to the implementation of vision systems in the tasks of robotics. The paper presents the formulation of the problem, describes the problems of designing vision systems and development of robotic complexes, shows modern ways of solving these problems. Methods of epistemology, epistemology and system analysis are applied. The issue of universal robotics in recent years is in the focus of research attention. There are many works devoted to this problem. However, the author decided to study this problem from different perspectives, applying not only philosophical and epistemological aspects, but also from the point of view of a systematic approach to the problem. A special contribution of the author in the study of the topic is the general systematization of the actual problems of introducing vision systems into robotic complexes and the definition of the main functions and purpose of such systems.

Abstract: An important to ensure the efficiency of the solar panels is to carry out periodic monitoring of tightness of connections and inspect their cleanliness. In order for solar cells to work more efficiently the authors suggest use of intelligent monitoring and measurement system. This article presents the development of a scalable system of energy-efficient mechatronic devices with an intelligent control system. Development refers to computer engineering and can be used in services of highly reliable fault-tolerant integrated onboard control complexes in the energy sector and other fields requiring high reliability computing complex, while maintaining fault tolerance and hardware failures. As a means of decision-making when selecting development tools used by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP, Saaty method). The novelty of the research is to create a new system service software, the full adjustment of the system software of the automated collection and storage of information on observed parameters, visualization parameters of the four storages and solar converters, real time software updating, safeguarding the basic functionality of the system at the damage and loss of data and protection against emergencies. The purpose of this system is the management of solar panels in real-time automatic monitoring and analysis of the performance of solar panels.
