Ultrasonic Modeling
L. Vietze · 1992
The first generation of mobile platforms moved along some given trajectories following magnetic fields produced by cables under the floor. This type of system would stop automatically by mechanical switches if a collision were to occur. In the next generation of mobile systems the sunounding environment around the mobile system is in addition watched with ultrasonic distance measurements. If an obstacle is detected within some security area of the mobile system, it can stop in order to avoid collision. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
