چکیده
Robotics research is heavily dependent on fast, accurate, reliable and cheap sensors. Sonar sensing can fulfil these requirements in air and underwater environments. Moreover sonar physics provides robotics researchers with a natural selection capability for landmark detection in navigation problems. This paper presents new sonar results that allow high-speed accurate measurement and classification suitable for moving platforms that has been combined with interference rejection to allow multiple sonar systems to co-exist.

Advanced Sonar Ring Sensing in Theory and Practice
Conventional sonar ring sensors, which can measure the distance to the nearest objects, are widely used in indoor mobile robots for obstacle avoidance purposes. Meanwhile, in advanced sonar sensing, accurate range and bearing measurement of multiple targets is performed using multiple receivers in each direction, but often regarded as slow due to the intensive computation process of all capture...

متن کاملSensor design and signal processing for an advanced sonar ring
A conventional sonar ring measures the range to objects based on the first echo and is widely used in indoor mobile robots. In contrast, advanced sonar sensing can produce accurate range and bearing (incidence angle) measurements to multiple targets using multiple receivers and multiple echoes per each receiver at the expense of intensive computation. This paper presents an advanced sonar ring ...
متن کاملA Low Sample Rate Real Time Advanced Sonar Ring
This paper describes an advanced sonar ring that employs a low receiver sample rate to achieve processing of 48 receiver channels at near real time repetition rates of 15 Hz. The sonar ring sensing covers 360 degrees around the robot with simultaneously firing of 24 transmitters. The receiver sampling frequency is 250 kHz, compared to previous work at 1 MHz, firstly to maximize the speed of pro...
متن کاملAdvanced sonar and odometry error modeling for simultaneous localisation and map building
An advanced sonar sensor produces accurate range and bearing measurements, classifies targets and rejects interference with one sensing cycle. Two advanced sonar systems are used to simultaneously localise and map an indoor environment using a mobile robot. This paper presents the approach and results from on-the-fly map building using a Kalman filter and a new odometry error model that incorpo...
