Abstract :
The authors describe their approach to the design of redundant proximity sensor systems that are capable of extracting geometrical information about the surrounding environment and perceiving other relevant features of the reflecting objects, e.g. colour. Potential applications of the proposed sensorial systems are in the field of robotics and autonomous mobility
