Feasibility Investigation of Obstacle-Avoiding Sensors Unit without Image Processing

Feasibility of a simple method to detect step height, slope angle, and trench width using four infrared-light-source PSD range sensors is examined, and the reproducibility and accuracy of characteristic parameter detection are also examined. Detection error of upward slope angle is within 2.5 degree...
