Quadruped Obstacle Avoidance and Footstep Planning with Distributed Low-cost Time-of-Flight Sensors
Quadruped robots typically rely on depth cameras and LiDAR sensors to map their local environment. However, these sensors have limited close-range coverage, are relatively expensive, and consume significant power. This study investigates whether distributed Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors can serve as a low-cost alternati …
