Signals from Lidar-type circular laser sensors are typically used to detect the presence of an obstacle in the path of the robot. It is proposed to use the laser sensor data in the working area to orient (align) the axes of the transport module and the body of the loading object. The main goal is to obtain a simple orientation algorithm with minimal hardware and software requirements to the control system.
