GENERATION OF SIGNALS FOR MULTIPLE SONARS BY THE GA

Abstract

We propose to apply the genetic algorithm (GA) to generation of pulse pattern for the multiple supersonic sensors to measure distance. Such the supersonic sensors are, for example, to be devised on a autonomous mobile robot. Those supersonic sensors actually yield crosstalk themselves on a real robot. The pulse pattern has to satisfy some conditions to keep probability of erroneous measurement caused by the crosstalk low. While A problem to generate such pulse pattern is difficult, it should be solved by using the GA as a combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, we propose two ways of genotype coding which yield different results respectively.
