Description
Summary:this paper. In order to give an idea of the work carried out during the PNRA project on the Robot for Antarctica Surface three sensors developed inside the project will be presented in some detail: the LRF, the Artificial Vision and the Speckle Velocimeter Laser Range Finder This sensor has been designed and realised using an original ENEA technology with the following specifications, as reported in the original document of RAS project: - Range of measurement: 50 m. - Precision: 5 cm - Point measurement time: 1ms - Opening angle of the scanning system 60 For practical reasons, such as the need to limit the scanning time at fixed angular resolution, it has been accepted a design limitation of the opening angle to a maximum of 48
