| Summary: | Abstract - RTG crane is used to stack containers
at the wharf. Because the size of the crane is too large
and the operated at high place, it is nearly impossible
for the operator to monitor the area under the crane.
Currently, a pointing sensor system is installed but
the crane still fails to stop if the obstacle is inside of
the track due to low coverage of the pointing sensor
system. In this paper, a new method is developed on a
prototype system of RTG, to improve the current
obstacle avoidance. The system is using servo motor
to rotate an infrared sensor in order to cover the total
area in the track. The results of new method is
compared with the pointing sensor system and shown
that the develop system has better performance from
the pointing sensor system by increasing the sensing
area to three point or almost all the track area by
rotating the infrared sensor |
