Navigation Using a Laser for Mobile robot with Optical Sensor Array (5th Report: Working area expansion using optical sensor array with pan and tilt mechanism)

摘要

We proposed the laser navigation system navigating a mobile robot with a laser source and considered the effectiveness. As the result of our research we proved we could navigate the mobile robot by the laser navigation system. But the operating range was decided by the optical sensor array and the angle of incident laser. So we added a pan and tilt mechanism to the optical sensor array and succeeded in expanding the operating range without the limitation of the angle of incident laser. In this paper, we examine the mobile robot navigation and expansion of its operating range by the optical sensor array with pan and tilt mechanism.
