A Sensory Input System for Autonomous Mobile Robots

摘要: In order to accomplish navigation in an similar world a robot must be able build and update its own map continuously real time. This paper proposes sensory input system based on the fusion of simple low-resolution vision with directed high-resolution sonar. The basic idea is use locate position which obstacle lies, then ultrasonic rangefinder determine depth object gain clues about shape. By fusing two systems we attempt exploit strengths each while maintaining acceptable computational cost. An idealized example given discuss possibilities some problems.
