Abstract
A prism for reflecting a laser includes: a single mounting cap at a first end of the prism, and first to seventh trihedral corner (TC) reflectors, each including a reflective surface including: three side edges, and three corners at respective intercept points between the side edges, wherein the seventh TC reflector, among the first to seventh TC reflectors, is on a second end of the prism opposite to the first end of the prism.

1-20. (canceled)
A prism for reflecting a laser, comprising:
- a mounting cap at a first end of the prism;
- and
- first to seventh trihedral corner (TC) reflectors, each comprising a reflective surface,
- wherein the seventh TC reflector, among the first to seventh TC reflectors, is on a second end of the prism opposite to the first end of the prism.

A system, comprising:
- an inspection robot including:
- a body;
- and
- a prism for reflecting a laser emitted from a laser tracking head, the prism comprising:
- a mounting cap mounted on the body of the inspection robot at a first end of the prism;
- and
- reflective means for reflecting the laser emitted from the laser tracking head to provide a reflective orientation coverage (ROC) map corresponding to a 1.5 plane prism model.
4 more elements
A method, comprising:
- inspecting, with an inspection robot, an inspection surface,
- wherein the inspection robot includes a body and a prism;
- and
- reflecting, by the prism, a laser emitted from a laser tracking head,
- wherein the prism includes:
- a mounting cap mounted on the body of the inspection robot at a first end of the prism;
- and
- first to seventh trihedral corner (TC) reflectors, each comprising a reflective surface,
- wherein the seventh TC reflector, among the first to seventh TC reflectors, is on a second end of the prism opposite to the first end of the prism.
