Abstract
The external world measurement sensor is useful so that the robot may evade the collision of man and the obstacle. However, a vision sensor has the problem of occlusion and a tactile sensor cannot be detected until coming in contact. Then, a proximity sensor that can detect the approach of the object is useful to interpolate the intermediate area of these vision and tactile area. We Study on the Mesh of Proximity Sensor that can be fitted on the free-form surface. In this paper, we simulated the sensor output by the ray-tracing method to examine the influence by having changed the arrangement of the light-emitting parts and light-receiving parts.
