Sensors

Post by Roland »

Hi
I was wondering whats the best way and easiest to go
about sensing objects in front of the robot.

Example. A tour guide robot to guide people in a museum,
Whats the best way to go about sensing and avoiding colliding
into objects and people.

Thank You.

Hello,

to sense objects in front of the robot, you can use a combination of two basic sensors:
Based on above two sensor types, there are many other higher-level sensors available from the model browser (Models/components/sensors), such as laser scanners, time-of-flight cameras, etc. You can also build your own custom sensor based on all available objects (i.e. basic building blocks) in V-REP.

Cheers
