Autonomous mapping robot

[prasadaswale]

I want to make an autonomous mapping robot capable of producing a floor plan of the interior of a building. In order to accomplish this, several technologies are to be combined including, a laser rangefinder, ultrasonic sensors, optical encoders, an inertial sensor, and wireless networking to make a small, self-contained autonomous robot controlled by an ARM9 processor running embedded Linux. can anyone tell me how to interface Laser range finder and how to get it from market as it costs too high. Or any other solution to this prob?

Instead of a laser may be possible to use IR.

The Sharp IR Range Finder is probably the most powerful sensor available to the everyday robot hobbyist.
It is extremely effective, easy to use, very affordable ($10-$20), very small, good range (inches to meters),
and has low power consumption.

you need to pay for this,i'm working from over 30 years in AGV,and you got nothing on internet,or google...

if it's for experiment, i can help you on your project,but for the buisness....

Sir/Madam I am doing this project for completion of my course. So if possible can you please assist me. I tried to search on google but did not get the expected results. :sad: so asked you again about the IR sensors or range detectors which can measure distances upto some meters
