Abstract

A sonar ring sensor is widely used in research of mobile robots. In conventional ultrasonic sensing, accurate target bearing measurement is often regarded as difficult due to the wide beam angle of ultrasonic transducers. We have been trying methods driving multiple transducers simultaneously and using the specular reflection for making a better sonar ring sensor. This paper present a system which was made for fundamental experiment.
