1. An apparatus comprising:
a robotic device operable to move autonomously and in response to computer controlled instructions; and
image analysis system disposed within the robotic device, and including:
an application processor that processes an application,
a sensor processor that acquires image data from an image sensor and analyzes the image data,
a motion control processor that controls motion of the robotic device, where the motion control processor provides:
(i) posture information to the sensor processor to identify an orientation of the image sensor when the image sensor acquires the image data to be analyzed, and
(ii) the application processor with an image analysis result including position coordinates of a target object in a camera coordinate system having an origin located at the image sensor, and the posture information for specifying an orientation of the image sensor.
