High-speed processing for obtaining three-dimensional distance image and its application

A prototype system of three-dimensional non-contact measurement

“…The 3D information was extracted from the image of the laser light reflected from the object to the camera using the triangulation measuring principle. Tanaka et al [5] improved the transmission speed of information from the CCD camera to a computer and implemented a robotic application. In this research, one CCD camera and a 1D laser displacement sensor were combined with an X, Y-table to establish a prototype low-cost 3D non-contact measurement system.…”

Study of an intelligent hexapod walking robot

“…If he is granted a function of only recognizing and studying obstacles and stairs, he can move autonomously. However at the present stage, a satisfactory device for recognition has not yet been developed, and is now being developed as presented [9] in the other pages of this proceedings. He is , at present, remote-controlled and semi-autonomously controlled according to operator's commands transmitted through a key-board with a joy-stick.…”
