    摘要: A collision avoidance method and system for a mobile robot crossing a road. When a mobile robot approaches a road, it senses road conditions via at least one first sensor, and initiates road crossing if the road conditions are deemed suitable for crossing. As it crosses the road, the mobile robot senses, via at least one second sensor, a change in the road conditions indicating the presence of at least one hazardous moving object. In response to determining that at least one hazardous object in present, the mobile robot initiates a collision avoidance maneuver. A mobile robot configured to avoid collisions while crossing a road includes: at least one first sensor configured to sense road conditions, at least one second sensor configured to sense road conditions, and a processing component configured to carry out one or more collision avoidance maneuvers.

    摘要: Disclosed is a mapping method comprising operating at least one mobile robot comprising at least two cameras and at least one processing component; and taking visual images with at least two cameras; and extracting at least straight lines from the visual images with at least one processing component; and generating map data using at least the extracted straight lines from the visual images. Also disclosed is a mobile robot comprising at least two cameras adapted to take visual images of an operating area; and at least one processing component adapted to at least extract straight lines from the visual images taken by the at least two cameras and generate map data based at least partially on the images; and a communication component adapted to at least send and receive data, particularly image and/or map data. Further disclosed is an assembly of mobile robots comprising at least two mobile robots, and each of the robots comprising at least two cameras adapted to take visual images of an operating area; at least one processing component adapted to at least extract straight lines from the visual images taken by the at least two cameras and generate map data based at least partially on the images; and at least one communication component adapted to at least send and receive data at least between the robots, particularly image and/or map data.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a delivery method comprising providing a system comprising at least one server, at least one robot and at least one delivery terminal, the method further comprising steps of: communicating a request for at least one delivery from the at least one delivery terminal to the at least one server and/or to the at least one robot; providing instructions from the at least one server to the at least one robot about the at least one delivery, the instructions comprising information about the final delivery location; loading the at least one robot with the at least one delivery to be transported; transporting the at least one delivery in the at least one robot to the final delivery location; and providing access to the at least one delivery in the at least one robot, preferably upon arrival at the delivery location. The present invention further relates to a system comprising at least one server adapted for at least: coordinating communication within the system, receiving/storing/sending data and/or performing computations; at least one robot operating autonomously or semi-autonomously and adapted to communicate with the at least one server in order to facilitate transport of a delivery by the robot to at least one recipient; and at least one delivery terminal communicating with the at least one robot and/or the at least one server.
