Abstract:
This paper describes a new, innovative method by which multiple mobile robots can be detected by a laser scanner. Each robot incorporates 4 bars in its construction which generate a significant pattern in the laser scan. The proposed algorithm allows a robust detection of successively moving robots, despite the partial shadowing through the bars.
