Object Detection with Ultrasound Sensors in Mobile Robots Working Area

Abstract

The ultrasound sensor imitates the bats and the other animals’ abilities to use ultrasound frequencies for navigation in order to determine the distance between them and the obstacles. These sensors are recommended to be used for difficult applications, in gasiform environments and represent one of the mobile robot’s sensor options. Our purpose of this study lies in presenting a method of detecting the distance between the mobile robot and obstacles and recording it, and in the same time the possibility of implementing it in order for it to be used by individuals (subjects) in applied studies.
