(67) Research on Estimating Smoothed Value and Differential
Value of Sensor Inputs
−Application to Ultrasonic Wave Sensor−
Journal of Signal Processing「信号処理」, Vol.7, No.1, pp.51-60, 2003-1
To be able to recognize an environment, a robot should have as many sensors as
possible. When we use sensors, we must consider the characteristics of the sensors,
such as range, processing time, error, and so on. In this paper, we focus on the
ultrasonic wave sensor that is today the most common sensor employed on indoor
mobile robotic systems, and we propose a new technique for estimating the smoothed
value and the differential value of the distances measured by the ultrasonic wave
sensor. In proposing this system, we take the characteristics of the sensors mentioned
above into consideration.
In spite of the many methods proposed, it is still very difficult to eliminate
the noise of sonar completely. Therefore, we smooth the distance value by assuming
the continuity of the signal obtained by the sonar, and utilizing this continuity,
we compose a robust estimator. The estimator is based on the sliding mode system.
