Steering signal generator of traveling object

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To ensure the steering so that a traveling object moves along a prescribed route, by scanning having sharp directivity in the direction along the prescribed route and at the same time detecting the scanning signal on the traveling object. CONSTITUTION: A laser beam generator 3 provided at an upper fixed position a road 2 along which a car 1 travels is set in the direction along a route on the surface of the road 2 and at the same time scans a laser beam RB that has sharp directivity from the running direction of the car 1 to the direction the car to travel. A detecting means 4 is provided on the car 1 to detect the beam RB. Based on this detection output, the steering signal is produced for the car 1 to travel on the route where the beam RB is scanned. Based on this steering signal, a steering device is controlled. Then the car 1 travels on the route scanned by the beam RB. COPYRIGHT: (C)1982,JPO&Japio
