無人台車の広視野衝突防止センサに関する研究

Abstract

Many unmanned trucks are used for a carrier system in automatic factories. When unmanned trucks are drivened on the passage of work-peoples, a safety device for preventing collisions is necessary. We design a new type of collision avoidance sensor to detect in a wide range, which is a simple device composed of a semiconductor laser and a CCD camera. A proto-type sensor is produced and its performance is examined. As a laser beam like a sheet is irradiated ahead and a CCD camera is used for two-dimentional area sensor, the sensor can detect in wide range. Therefore, it is conclued that this simple device is possible to be used for wide-view collision avoidance sensor.
