Structural design of optical tracker for LGMR

Abstract

In this paper,the research work to develop an optical tracker for a newly developed Laser Guidance Measuring Robot(LGMR) is described.Based on the principle and analysis of LGMR,the optical tracker with two DOFs is presented and introduced.The 3D model is established as well.Analysis and design are made in emphasis on the structure of optical tracker.Finally,the optical tracker was made and joined to the body to assemble a mobile robot.The results show that the optical tracker is practical and can track the laser beam automatically and effectively,and also prove the correctness of the method.
