Abstract :
The outdoor service robot, which we call OSR-02, is presently under development intended for cleaning up urban areas by means of collecting discarded trash such as plastic bottles, cans, plastic bags and so on. Additionally, we have developed a novel sensor system for the achievement of the task by this robot; it is constructed with LRF (laser rangefinder), two cameras, and three stepping motors. In this paper, we describe the sensor system and its applications
