Three Dimensional Data Capture in Indoor Environments for Autonomous Navigation

September 30, 2002
Author(s)
John Evans, Tommy Chang, Tsai Hong Hong, Roger V. Bostelman, Robert Bunch
An innovative use of a low-cost laser range scanner captures three dimensional features of indoor environments in a manner suitable for mobile robot navigation that is superior to earlier approaches. This three dimensional mapping solves many of the known

A Tool to Improve Efficiency in Large Scale Manufacturing
