Estimating the term…
A method for detecting an event of collision on an outer shell of a robotic device is provided. The method includes detecting acoustic waves by a plurality of transducers mounted inside or outside the outer shell; estimating, by a processor, a position of collision on the outer shell by performing arrival time analysis on the acoustic waves detected by the plurality of transducers; determining, by the processor, an extent of collision based on intensities of the acoustic waves detected by the plurality of transducers; and performing non-destructive testing of the outer shell of the robotic device automatically after detecting the event of collision to determine a level of severity to the robotic device caused by the event of collision.
A method for detecting an event of collision on an outer shell of a robotic device, comprising:
