Target recognition and localization methods using a laser sensor for wheeled mobile robots
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A target system, comprising:
- a wheeled robot/vehicle that includes a laser sensor that unilaterally scans a wide angular section of a surrounding environment; and
a target that is identified based on the scanning by the laser sensor, wherein the target includes a surface with uniquely combined depth variations,wherein the laser sensor is adapted to scan the target for localization, wherein the localization occurs based on a detection of the target by the laser sensor, wherein the target is detected by distance measurements upon the laser sensor scanning the surface of the target based on the uniquely combined depth variations.
