Abstract

The paper presents a method and a mechanical system able to generate imposed/standard trajectories (circle, ellipse, parabola, line or combinations of them) which, tracked by an optoelectronic sensor based on the triangulation principle, allowing evaluation of its accuracy performances. The maximum of the absolute values of the differences between the points of the standard curve and the curves obtained through data acquisition from the optoelectronic sensor represents the comparison value that allows the ranking of performances of various types of sensors, optical as well as based on other functional principles: ultrasounds, radio etc. The optoelectronic sensor presented in the paper is the base component of a system that controls mini robots having a sole mark/point placed on their body as displacement reference. Such a system is tackled in the frame of a complex scientific research performed by the authors.
