- Abstract:
- Autonomous robots are becoming essential for a vast range of applications ranging from inspection to manipulation, often used for unstructured and harsh environments. Navigation sensors are part of the framework needed to operate such robots. In this paper a novel range finder sensor based on Time-Of-Flight technology is presented, this being suitable for integrating in aerial and ground robots. Speed, low weight and scalability are improved unique features compared to the state of the art in range finding solutions. Preliminary test results and comparison with other sensors of similar scope are shown.
