METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR THE HIGHLY ACCURATE POSITIONING OF A ROBOT-GUIDED INTERACTION APPARATUS BY MEANS OF RADAR

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for positioning a robot-guided interaction apparatus with respect to an object. In the method, one or more radar antennas (5) are integrated in the interaction apparatus or are fitted to the interaction apparatus and are controlled to emit and receive radar signals. A distance to the object (7) is determined from the received radar signals and a 3-D image of a scene recorded with the one or more radar antennas (5) is generated. The interaction apparatus is then positioned with respect to the object (7) on the basis of the distance determined from the radar signals and the 3-D image generated from the radar signals. The method and the arrangement make it possible to position the interaction apparatus in a highly accurate manner in virtually any environments and with restricted visibility conditions without having to make alterations or install additional sensors at the particular location of use.
