Underwater Laser collision avoidance
Underwater Laser collision avoidance
(OP)
Hi,
Im trying to come up with a way to avoid collisions underwater, without using sonar. I thought of using four lasers to map the walls of the container and then knowing my initial position, be able to avoid crashing.
However I dont really have a large knowledge of lasers and any advice/thoughts on the topic would be very useful.
i.e. is this a viable idea, and how would i go about it?
or any other alternative?
Oh and i only have a small budget < £200.
Thanx,
Mark

probes on the moving part as far apart as possible ?
I would use AC.

for just plain collision dtecetion, a range finger might work, but it is pretty directional....might need larde collimating optics to widen the beam
