Sensing Volume Coverage of Robot Workspace using On-Robot Time-of-Flight Sensor Arrays for Safe Human Robot Interaction
An octree-based method quantifies workspace coverage for different time-of-flight sensor-ring arrangements on robot links. It compares close and distant detection zones. The geometric coverage analysis helps placement decisions, while sensor fault detection and stopping performance require separate evidence.
