#CMT# #/CMT# The sensor (6) has infra-red detection units provided with wide and narrow vision field optics (12, 13) for detecting presence of infrared emission sources and locating the sources along a pre-defined coordinate system, respectively. A common operation, communication and control processor is coupled to a common communication transceiver for connecting the processor to a data communication network. The detection units are mechanically movable in an independent manner. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for providing a location sensor. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Infrared location sensor e.g. active or passive infrared location sensor, for use on a movable entity (all claimed) e.g. movable machine such as movable robot, for detecting location of infrared emission sources. Can also be used on a fixed machine i.e. fixed robot or a building. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The wide and narrow vision field optics of the infra-red detection units detect the presence of infrared emission sources and permit relative or absolute spatial location of the sources relative along a Cartesian or polar coordinate system, respectively. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows an external perspective view of an infrared location sensor representing detection zones. 6 : Infrared location sensor 12 : Wide vision field optics 13 : Narrow vision field optics 16 : Connector 21 : Small plastic box #CMT#INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS : #/CMT# The data communication network transfers data by using a communication protocol e.g. universal serial bus (USB)protocol. |
