Interval-based optimal placement of Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors are popular in robotic applications due to their accuracy and low cost. However, they have a wider beam angle than LIDAR, limiting their angular resolution. The interval method is used to optimize placement of a pair of sensors to improve angular resolution.
