| Sumario: | The paper is a continuation of the authors’ work intended for infrared navigation for blind people and mobile robots. This concerns the detection of obstacles in the person’s or mobile robot’s trajectory, in particular, the detection of corners. The temperature distribution of a building’s internal wall near a corner has been investigated. Due to geometry, more heat will be transferred by conduction so that inside the building, the temperature on the wall will be decreasing towards a corner. The problem will be investigated theoretically and numerically, and the results are confirmed by experimental measurements. The purpose of this research is to help blind people by equipping them with a small infrared camera that warns them when they are approaching a corner inside a building. The same aim is addressed to mobile robots. |
