Abstract

For the development of a line coating robot, that is able to autonomously apply line markings on the ground, the robot needs to follow a line with high precision. To minimize the costs of the system a low cost laser sensor was developed for navigating the system along a laser line. The sensor was then compared to a commercial laser receiver for rotating lasers. The system was tested in an application oriented scenario and tracked with a high precision positioning system to calculate the deviation of the system to the optimal path.
