With the rapid advancement of robotic technology, modern robots have acquired the ability to autonomously navigate in various environments. To achieve this capability, robots rely on a variety of sensors to navigate and perceive their surroundings. Here, we will focus on introducing several core sensors responsible for a robot's autonomous movement.
LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)
Function: The primary function of LIDAR is to create maps and scan the environment for positioning by using laser beams to measure the reflection time between the laser and objects. Through this method, robots can not only generate high-precision three-dimensional maps but also achieve accurate navigation in complex environments.
3D Cameras
Function: 3D cameras can capture depth information, providing robots with the capability to stereoscopically avoid obstacles. Besides recognizing and avoiding obstacles in front, 3D cameras can also help robots detect differences in ground levels, preventing falls or collisions.
Gyroscope
Function: A gyroscope is a device used to measure or maintain orientation. It can detect changes in a robot's angular velocity, thereby helping the robot understand its current posture or direction, ensuring stable movement.
Motor Encoders
Function: Encoders are typically installed on a robot's drive motors to measure wheel rotation. This allows the robot to precisely determine how far it has traveled or how much it has turned, enabling accurate navigation.
Conclusion:
For safe and precise movement in various complex environments, robots must rely on these advanced sensors. With continuous technological progress, we have reasons to believe that future robots will be equipped with even more sophisticated sensors, achieving higher-level functions and better performance.
