Abstract

In this study, we demonstrate the avoidance of the “lost robot” situation when wireless communication is interrupted. In our proposed method, the mobile robot measures the unknown environmental shape using a laser range finder. The sensor data and additional information (thickness and material characteristics) of the real environment are combined into the line segment map. We found that the electric field strength can be simulated using the line segment map. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of our proposed method.
