We address the problem of detecting and pushing stationary objects in a planar environment by using an environment-embedded sensor network and a simple mobile robot. The stationary sensors are used to detect pushable objects. The robot pushes a detected object based on pose information obtained from the sensors over a wireless network. We show that the accuracy of the push operation is correlated to the number of sensors used to determine object pose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
