This paper proposes a new method of measuring position of daily life commodities placed on a floor. Our method uses a laser range finder (LRF) together with a mirror. The LRF scans the laser beam just above the floor and measure the distance to the object. Some beams are reflected by the mirror and measure the distance from different origin. Even if the two measurements fail, the method calculates the position of the object by utilizing information that no measurement is available. Thus, the method achieves two major advantages: 1) robust against occlusion and 2) applicable to variety of daily life commodities.
