Summary/Abstract: The work presents the design and implementation of a remote mobile robot control system using computer vision systems with direct support for strong Haar-like features. The implemented program will include a virtual interface allowing basic control of the Lego NXT 2.0 robot. The application retrieves images from a real-time video camera on the basis of which the process of searching for specific objects takes place using the AdaBoost classification algorithm. This is how the object is supposed to interact with the virtual interface. Ultimately, the graphical interface of a user should responsively correlate with the movements of a person using the program. The transfer of information between the interface and the robot will be via Bluetooth wireless communication and Direct Commands direct control, which is available in Lego OS. This solution will allow you to control the robot without loading additional applications into the unit's microprocessor system. An additional feature is the ability to measure distances using the ultrasonic rangefinder. Thanks to the modular construction, the robot should be easily expandable depending on a user’s needs..
