Abstract (EN): Vision-based mobile robots have severe limitations related to the computational capabilities that are required for processing their algorithms. The vision algorithms processed onboard and without resorting to specialized computing devices do not achieve the real-time constraints that are imposed by that kind of systems. This paper describes a scheme for streaming image sequences in order to be used by techniques of artificial vision. A mobile robot with this architecture can stream image sequences over the network infrastructure for a device with higher computing power. Therefore, the robot assures the real-time performance with a reduced consumption of energy which increases its autonomy. The experiments conducted without using specialized computers proved that the proposed architecture can stream sequences of images with a resolution of 640x480 at 25 frames per second.
