“…Más adelante, Jackson et al (2007) realizaron un análisis comparativo de varias tecnologías de seguimiento, a saber, variedades de GPS, acelerómetros, telémetros láser, y los sensores del ratón óptico, y concluyeron que el ratón óptico era la única tecnología con precisión en el rango de milímetros siendo además la menos costosa, pero tenía como limitante la velocidad, pues solo daba lecturas confiables con velocidades menores a 7 km/h.…”

Resumen:En este trabajo se hace una revisión de los desarrollos científicos logrados a partir del reciclaje tecnológico de partes de computador, más específicamente, de unidades de CD/DVD y ratones. Estos elementos, que con frecuencia son desechados generando serios problemas de contaminación ambiental, son en sí mismos elementos sofisticados y de gran precisión, que al ser producidos en masa pueden adquirirse a muy bajo costo. Estas características los convierten en equipos interesantes para trabajos de investigación científica que buscan alternativas simples, de bajo costo y miniaturización de equipos (laboratorio en un chip). Microscopios, interferómetros, escáneres, odómetros, manómetros, péndulos, codificadores, entre otros, son los desarrollos que se han logrado a partir de la reutilización de estos elementos. Aquí se muestra el principio de funcionamiento de estas partes de computador, las aplicaciones a que han sido objeto desde su invención y otros campos de aplicación potenciales como conclusión de la revisión realizada. Palabras clave:Reciclaje tecnológico, ratón, CD/DVD, laboratorio en un chip, bajo costo.

“…The velocity estimation of a mobile robot using optical mice is free from inherent problems of typical sensors; however, it is highly sensitive to the type of a given traveling surface [7][8][9]. For robust velocity estimation of a mobile robot using optical mice, a mobile robot traveling simulator was first proposed in [10].…”

Fig. 1. The schematic diagram of the mobile robot traveling simulator using optical mice.Abstract-This paper presents the practical design of mobile traveling simulator using three optical mice along with the optimal parameter setting. The mobile robot traveling simulator makes a traveling surface sample to rotate relative to stationary optical mice. First, for structural simplicity and user convenience, the practical design of mobile robot traveling simulator is proposed, which allows 2 DOF traveling simulation of a 3 DOF mobile robot traveling over a plane. Second, the velocity kinematics of the mobile robot traveling simulator is formulated, in which the mobile robot traveling simulator generates the velocity measurements of optical mice for a mobile robot under simulation. Third, for a given velocity of a mobile robot under simulation, the optimal parameter setting of the mobile robot traveling simulator is described, which minimizes the discrepancy between the desired and actual velocity measurements of optical mice. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate that the 2 DOF proposed mobile robot traveling simulator can make near complete traveling simulation of a 3 DOF mobile robot.

“…Off-the-shelf mouse sensors were also recently characterized [47] and mounted onboard terrestrial [48], [49] and aerial robotic platforms [5], [50]. The performances of these systems have not been properly assessed so far in terms of their resolution, accuracy, invariance to illuminance and contrast, apart from two studies [51], [52].…”

Two-Directional 1-g Visual Motion Sensor Inspired by the Fly's Eye

Optic flow-based autopilots for Micro-Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) need lightweight, low-power sensors to be able to fly safely through unknown environments. The new tiny 6-pixel visual motion sensor presented here meets these demanding requirements in terms of its mass, size, and power consumption. This 1-gram, low-power, fly-inspired sensor accurately gauges the visual motion using only this 6-pixel array with two different panoramas and illuminance conditions. The new visual motion sensor's output results from a smart combination of the information collected by several 2-pixel Local Motion Sensors (LMSs), on the basis of the "time of travel" scheme originally inspired by the common housefly's Elementary Motion Detector (EMD) neurons. The proposed sensory fusion method enables the new visual sensor to measure the visual angular speed and determine the main direction of the visual motion without any prior knowledge. Through computing the median value of the output from several LMSs, we also end up with a more robust, more accurate, and more frequently refreshed measurement of the one-dimensional angular speed.
