Abstract:
The arrangements of the present disclosure provide a locating apparatus, a locating method, and a shelf. The locating apparatus includes a rotating mechanism, a distance measuring mechanism, and a locating circuit. The rotating mechanism is configured to control the distance measuring mechanism to rotate in a plane where the distance measuring mechanism is positioned, and to measure a rotation angle of the distance measuring mechanism in the plane. The distance measuring mechanism is configured to measure a distance between the distance measuring mechanism and an obstacle. The locating circuit is configured to determine a position of the obstacle in the plane based on the rotation angle of the distance measuring mechanism in the plane and the distance between the distance measuring mechanism and the obstacle.

Claim (Index 17):
The shelf according to  claim 15 , wherein the locating circuit is configured to determine whether the obstacle is within coverage of the shelf based on the rotation angle of the distance measuring mechanism in the plane and the distance between the distance measuring mechanism and the obstacle, and determine the position of the obstacle in the plane in response to determining that the obstacle is within coverage of the shelf based on the rotation angle of the distance measuring mechanism in the plane and the distance between the distance measuring mechanism and the obstacle.
