Claim 0:
1. A sensing system for pseudo 3D mapping, the sensing system comprising:
at least a first linear sensor and a second linear sensor;
the first linear sensor, disposed horizontally, provided to measure a distance towards a target, wherein the distance is measured at a predefined height from a ground; and
the second linear sensor, disposed vertically, provided to take a video of an environment, wherein the first linear sensor and the second linear sensor are in a predefined rigid relationship, image data from the second linear sensor is incorporated with the distance obtained from the first linear sensor, the sensing system is mounted on a robot moving in the environment, an image of the environment is generated from the second linear sensor synchronized with respective distances obtained from the first linear sensor while the robot is moving in the environment.
