James Crowley Carnegie Mellon University, 1985 Laboratory for Household Robotics Machine Vision, Dynamic World Modeling, Mobile Robot Navigation IMP (Intelligent Mobile Platform) could learn the floorpan of a house, follow instructions and avoid obstacles. IMP and its related security robot use a sonar ring (sometimes referred to a Denning Ring) with 24 Polaroid ultrasonic ranging devices. This pioneering work builds maps from the information gathered by the sonar ring. Technology from IMP and the Denning Sonar Ring found its way onto a version of Terregator - an early autonomous mine mapping robot at the Robotics Institute at CMU.
