ROBOT DRIVING BY CONTROLLING TOF LIDAR SENSOR AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF THE ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18211892 titled 'ROBOT DRIVING BY CONTROLLING TOF LIDAR SENSOR AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF THE ROBOT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a robot driven by controlling a time of flight (TOF) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor, and a driving method thereof. The robot outputs laser pulse signals of the TOF LiDAR sensor by switching between short-range pulse energy and remote pulse energy, while the sensor rotates. It corrects information about the distance between the robot and peripheral objects based on reflection signals received from the objects, and controls the driving module to move the robot based on the corrected distance information.
- Robot driven by TOF LiDAR sensor
- Laser pulse signals switched between short-range and remote pulse energy
- Sensor rotates to correct distance information based on reflection signals
- Driving module controlled to move the robot based on corrected distance information
Potential Applications
- Autonomous vehicles
- Robotics in manufacturing and logistics
- Surveillance and security systems
Problems Solved
- Accurate distance measurement in real-time
- Enhanced navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities
- Improved efficiency and safety in robotic operations
Benefits
- Increased precision in robot movements
- Enhanced situational awareness
- Improved overall performance and reliability
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided are a robot driven by controlling a time of flight (TOF) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor, and a driving method thereof. The robot outputs laser pulse signals of the TOF LiDAR sensor by switching a laser pulse signal of a short-range pulse energy and a laser pulse signal of a remote pulse energy, while the TOF LiDAR sensor rotates, corrects information about a distance between the robot and peripheral objects of the robot, based on reflection signals of the laser pulse signals, the reflection signals being received from the peripheral objects of the robot, and controls the driving module to move the robot based on the corrected information about the distance.
