The paper investigates the possibility of using a computer vision system for the movement of an android robot. A mock-up is presented of an autonomous robot capable of passing a route and performing maneuvers like a real car. The novelty of the development lies in the fact that in a autonomous android robot two systems are used simultaneously: a computer vision system based on the Android OS, which allows it to traverse the track with markings without the use of sensors, and an IOIO board that helps the smartphone control the drives. The study proves the effectiveness of the introduction of computer vision in many areas. For example, you can use computer vision in traffic, to identify defects in parts in the foundry, to build neural networks in solving complex production problems, to ensure the safety of people, etc.
