Abstract
A sensing system is designed to include a plurality of linear sensors, where these linear sensors are spaced apart, positioned or disposed in parallel on a substrate. These sensors are provided to detect respective distances towards a target from different planes so as to generate a plurality of 2D maps. A thin or coarse 3D map is then generated from these 2D maps to facilitate movements of a mobile robot employing the sensing system.
