The thesis describes the development of laser vector display for use in field of
autonomous mobile robotics. The implementation of a laser projector using galvanometers is presented, as well as other solutions in the field of light steering.
The final product is intended for use in an industrial environment mainly for
human-vehicle interaction. Its main purpose is to warn passers-by with useful
vehicle information and thus increase the level of traffic safety when interacting
with autonomous vehicles. The target environment is industrial, especially for
use in warehouses. Because it is used in predominantly darker rooms, which are
differently spatially designed and at the same time experience different lighting
conditions, it is necessary to develop high-contrast images over long distances.
Ordinary projectors do not meet these requirements, so we set out to make a
device that would meet the needs of the industry and successfully solve the described role. We started development by converting the shapes to different format
that will be used on the projector. This was followed by the development of a
prototype product, which served as proof of concept. We then examined the
operation and control of galvanometers and steering light using mirrors. Later
we developed a control panel that manages all components in the system and
connects to the outside world, allowing integration into an existing vehicle.
