Title: Location of objects over an area
Inventor: ANTHONY DAVID GEORGE RHOADES
IPC: G01C25/00
Filed: 2020-11-27
Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for placing or locating objects over a predetermined area, for instance for use as markers for a zone or surface mapping exercise. Such a map may then be used for robot orientation, for instance to allow an Autonomous Distributed Deposition Robot (ADDR) to guide itself to print on turf, e.g. for advertising purposes, or generally to self-navigate to places or locations of interest to perform a duty, such as to deposit a fertiliser, plant seeds, or other necessary payload at a particular geographic reference location, indoor or outdoor. The system has a scanner 10 directing a laser beam across an area such as a sports pitch. The laser operates autonomously, giving an audio signal to indicate to the operator where to place a number of reflectors 20 around the pitch. Once this is done, the scanner, again autonomously, starts a survey of the placed reflectors to ascertain their exact position and orientation, by measuring the distance to a series of points across the face of the reflector. These measurements are filtered and compared to data identifying the reflectors, so that the position of each reflector is accurately known. The set of reflectors 20, which have retro-reflector plates 26 also mounted on their tripods, can then be used for orientation for a robot, such as a robot printer for printing on the ground.
