Imaging sensor systems are inevitable components of intelligent and automated machinery. Imaging sensor systems based on the laser radar (ladar) principle are proposed to provide advanced machine capabilities such as collision avoidance, obstacle detection, object recognition and position determination. This paper describes the adaption of a 3-d ladar camera to the requirements of a large computer-assisted telemanipulator (CAT) for aircraft washing.
