Preliminary Sensors Selection for Reconfigurable Continuous Track Robot Obstacle Detection

Abstract

Nowadays, the topic of autonomous vehicles is attracting attention. Such technologies and innovative approaches can help to facilitate people's life in different. However, practical implementation of autonomous vehicles requires innovation in different spheres such as regulations, cybersecurity, and ethics. The demand for applying autonomous vehicles in rugged terrain conditions is growing, bringing new challenges for both obstacle overcoming and detection. This paper describes a process of preliminary sensors selection obstacle detection in an autonomous continuous track robot. Different sensors are studied and chosen for a particular case. The initial algorithm for robot navigation is proposed.
