Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING OBSTACLE INFORMATION IN AUTONOMOUS MOBILE VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/050305
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus for providing obstacle information in an autonomous mobile vehicle and a method thereof, in which a target object is determined to be what obstacle by combining pieces of information received from a laser distance sensor and radars, thereby enabling the autonomous driving of a vehicle. The apparatus and method for providing obstacle information in an autonomous mobile vehicle, which is capable of providing robust obstacle information not only in environments normal times, but also dust environments by combining a laser distance sensor and radars. A problem that an obstacle through which a mobile unit can pass, such as dust, is mistaken for an obstacle through which the mobile unit cannot pass can be solved.
