Abstract

In this paper, we have fabricated the position detection system with LED and optical sensor to detect a position and trace of robot through visible light communication (VLC). The fabricated position detection system did not have been affected by sunlight in outdoor and a fluorescent light in building. Because 4 LEDs, respectively, transmitted different signals, we have known the position of robot. And we have also observed a trajectory of robot in real time.

본 논문에서는 이동 로봇의 위치 추정을 위해 LED를 이용한 가시광 통신에 의해 로봇의 위치를 확인하고 광센서를 이용하여 로봇의 이동 경로를 추정하는 시스템을 제작 하였다. 제작된 위치확인 시스템은 외부 빛인 태양광과 형광등의 영향은 없었으며, 실험에 사용된 4개의 LED는 다른 신호를 전송하므로 로봇의 위치를 확인할 수 있었고, 광센서를 사용하여 로봇의 이동경로를 실시간으로 추적 할 수 있음을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.
