A SPATIAL MEASUREMENT AND RECOGNITION SYSTEM USING AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT

In this paper, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is designed to determine the lateral dimensions of an arbitrary enclosed space and to predict its area and shape. The robot operates in two modes, navigation and measurement modes. It uses the ultrasonic sensor to guide around obstacles in the navigation mode and also to calculate the area, in measurement mode, by determining the x-y dimensions. Communication with the robot is achieved by means of a Bluetooth connection to an android mobile phone. Extracted information from measurement times are found to be useful in tracking the path of the autonomous mobile robot
