SHARP Guidance System • Wall Following using its side SHARP sensor • Encompasses PROPORTIONAL technology • Corner detection • Closed loop turning
SHARP Guidance System • SHARPs as infrared range sensors • SHARPs for wall following and cornering • Slows for parking, speeds up for bridge SIDE SHARPS
Colour Recognition • Camera looks for red and green lights • Green = turn, red = don’t turn, go straight CAMERA
Obstacle Avoidance • Front SHARP detects oncoming obstacles • Stops and even reverses away from obstacles FRONT SHARP
The Next Step In Mechatronics • Continuous obstacle avoidance • Awareness of surroundings • Safety and reliability • Closed loop
