Abstract:
A method for controlling an apparatus, includes steps of: determining distance measurements of an object in a first direction, using distance sensors defining between them a second direction different from the first direction, assessing a first inclination of the object in relation to a second direction based on the distance measurements, and determining a first command of the apparatus according to the inclination assessment.
