Hokuyo URG Series Block in Matlab Simulink

Abstract

Abstract-Since simulink has been widely used among engineer and researcher for many aspect of digital signal processing and control theory, then we develop a block that interfaced specific hardware that also has been widely used, a Laser Range Finder (LRF) sensor. Here we interface the LRF sensor from Hokuyo, the URG family series. Hokuyo is famous with the affordable LRF sensor that they built, such as URG-04LX-UG01. This paper presents the structure and the design of block proposed. Moreover, with mathematical calculation we provide the 2D plot graph from the scanned result. 
