Abstract
A mobile robotic device is disclosed which includes a plurality of one-dimensional (1D) time-of-flight (ToF) sensors. Each 1D ToF sensor of the plurality of 1D ToF sensors may be mounted at a fixed position and orientation on the mobile robotic device. Each pair of 1D ToF sensors of the plurality of 1D ToF sensors may be fixed at respective positions and orientations relative to each other such that respective cones of coverage of the pair of 1D ToF sensors are non-overlapping.
