Guoyu Zhang, Zijian Zhu · 2022 International Conference on Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems Engineering (MLISE) · 2022

In these few years, intelligent robotics technology becomes more and more popular, they bring big convenience for people. And how to further advance the efficiency of the robot becomes a focus topic. The objective of this paper explores the way to improve robot efficiency in the way to find an optimum orientation for the sensors on the two-wheeled robots. Based on the Matlab Robotics Playground, the research found different mazes, adjusted the original angle of the sensors, and then collected the necessary data for the further survey. From the following experiment, can find that the sensors whose original orientation angle is set at a small value (from 0 degree to 30 degrees) have a higher efficiency than those sensors with a big original orientation angle. Furthermore, when the orientation angle is 0 degree, the robot could have the most optimum efficiency. This paper attempts to seek how the orientation of the sensors could influence the movement process and the efficiency of the robot, provides a feasible way for the installation of sensors on robot.
