鏡を使って測域センサの測定範囲を変更する試み

抄録

We use one or two laser rage sensor(s) for our mobile robots in order to navigate mobile robots and to measure length to surrounding objects. In order to detect objects that are located outside its own measurement rang of the laser range sensor, we used a mirror to modify the measurement range of a laser range sensor, and experimentally evaluated the performance of this trial. Basic experiments are done for different mirror layouts. The experiments showed satisfactory results, thus showed the validity of the proposed method. Yet the efforts for eliminating noises in the measured data must be continued for outdoor use.
