Accurate and Cheap Robot Range Finder
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel high-quality distance sensor for robotics applications is proposed. The sensor relies on triangulation with the offset of a laser line as it is reflected off an object into a cheap webcam. An ML approach to finding the error model showed that the sensor was very accurate when the laser line was found. It is suggested that better line-finding methods than simple color filtering would make the sensor more viable.

A 3D laser range finder for autonomous mobile robots
This paper presents a high quality, low cost 3D laser range finder designed for autonomous mobile systems. The 3D laser is built on the base of a 2D range finder by the extension with a standard servo. The servo is controlled by a computer running RT-Linux. The scan resolution ( 5 cm) for a complete 3D scan of an area of 150 (h) 90 (v) degree is up to 115000 points and can be grabbed in 12 seco...
متن کاملA Study on the Correction of Non-Linear Bias Error of an Infrared Range Finder Sensor for a Mobile Robot using Neural Network
The infrared range finder for a mobile robot has the advantages of the low sensing cost and detecting all objects in front of the mobile robot after sensing. However, it has some non-linear bias errors, the measurement data represents the Gaussian distribution, and the variance of measurement error increases in proportion to distance. This paper set a goal to analyze the characteristics of an i...

This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
