Collision hazard detection controller for motors of mobile robot, has sensors arranged at different locations on periphery of robot such that combined output signals of sensors are used as input signals for transistors and amplifiers

摘要

The controller has light sensitive sensors (S1,S2) which are arranged at different locations on periphery of robot for detecting the environmental condition. The transistors (T1,T2) and operational amplifiers (OP1, OP2) are arranged and associated with motors (M1,M2) of mobile robot. The output signals (O) of sensors are combined and used as input signals for transistors and operational amplifiers. An independent claim is included for a method for controlling independently operable motors of mobile robot.
