What is Specular Reflection

Control and Signal Processing Applications for Mobile and Aerial Robotic Systems
Is the mirror like reflection, also known as regular, considered this way when any kind of wave (in this case light), reflect as a mirror from a surface.

Abstract
Positioning technologies are useful in a great number of applications, which are oriented for pick and place robots, manipulation of machine tools, especially on machines oriented for artificial vision and detection systems, such as vision-guided robotic systems and object existence in a limited environment. Due to the high demand of those applications, this chapter presents digital control theory application using a laser positioner, which obtains 3D coordinates in a defined field of view. Using the LM629N-8 motion controller, representing the main digital controller for the motion task of the laser positioner as an active element, which is analyzed via modeling and simulation using Matlab-Simulink. Additionally, this chapter focuses on some of the principal sources of uncertainties that exist in a laser scanning system and mainly on the receptive part of such system, which is driven by a brushed DC motor. The processed signal will be analyzed in different environmental conditions to analyze how it is affected by the instability characteristics of this main actuator.

The mirror-like reflection of light (or of other kinds of wave) from a surface, in which light from a single incoming direction is reflected into a single outgoing direction. This behavior is described by the law of reflection, which states that the direction of incoming light (the incident ray), and the direction of outgoing light reflected (the reflected ray) make the same angle with respect to the surface normal, thus the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and that the incident, normal, and reflected directions are coplanar.
