Description
Summary:addition, a closed-loop (does not require external sensors)
and commercial applications. The redundant sensor concept is
application to pose measurement is valuable because the
calibration algorithm is derived to determine the positions
Conventional wisdom suggests to accomplish accurate
developing a pose (position and orientation) measurement
difficulties in applying it to other measurement problems are
elements a robust, inexpensive pose measurement system for
enough accuracy and range for a wide variety of industrial
environmental factors. The research conducted explores
excellent dynamic range. This generally results in sensor
general in nature and has the potential of being applied to
illustrated.
inexpensive redundant sensor pose measurement system with
making measurements in a factory environment is proposed. A
measurement problems other than pose measurement. Its
measurement, the sensors used must have high precision and
novel triangulation algorithm is developed to solve for pose,
of the fixed microphones. To predict the accuracy of this
on a mobile stylus to fixed microphones, that is robust with
respect to environmental speed of sound variations. In
shifting the current sensor system design paradigm by
simulations. Results suggest one can construct an
system an error analysis is conducted using computer
system using inexpensive redundant (same type and more than
systems that are complex, costly, and often sensitive to
the minimum required) sensors, each with limited capability.
Using acoustic transmitters and microphones as the sensor
using sound time of flight measurements from 3 transmitters
