CPC G01S 17/08 (2013.01) [G06Q 10/087 (2013.01); G09B 5/00 (2013.01)] | 18 Claims |
1. An indication and sensing system comprising:
a first array comprising a first plurality of individually readable distance sensors configured to be disposed along at least a first axis of a platform, wherein each of the first plurality of distance sensors is configurable to detect penetration based on reflection signals received in a first plane containing the first axis;
a second array comprising a plurality of individually controllable light emitting indicators disposed along at least a second axis parallel to the first axis; and,
a control circuit configured to generate a reconfigurable predetermined detection window width by associating together from the first plurality of distance sensors a plurality of adjacent distance sensors detecting the reflection signal reflected from an obstacle in the first plane during a teaching operation,
wherein each of the first plurality of indicators in the second array of indicators is configurable to emit visual indicia to a user out of the first plane, and the visual indicia are associated with the detected penetration.
