1. A method of controlling a mobile platform comprising:
measuring, by at least two distance sensors, a distance between the mobile platform and an object when the mobile platform is located at each of a plurality of positions to obtain a plurality of measured distances each being obtained at one of the plurality of positions, location information of the plurality of positions of the mobile platform being obtained by an inertial measurement unit (IMU) on the mobile platform, and the at least two distance sensors being configured to capture data from different directions;
determining a position of the object based on the plurality of measured distances and the location information; and
controlling the mobile platform to avoid the object based on the results of the determined position of the object.
