Abstract: On-floor obstacle detection using an RGB-D camera is disclosed. An obstacle on a floor is detected by receiving an image including depth channel data and RGB channel data through the RGB-D camera, estimating a ground plane corresponding to the floor based on the depth channel data, obtaining a foreground of the image corresponding to the ground plane based on the depth channel data, performing a distribution modeling on the foreground of the image based on the RGB channel data to obtain a 2D location of the obstacle, and transforming the 2D location of the obstacle into a 3D location of the obstacle based on the depth channel data.

Abstract: A motion control method, a robot controller, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: calculating an inverse Jacobian matrix of a whole-body generalized coordinate vector at a current time relative to an actual task space vector of a humanoid robot; calculating a target generalized coordinate vector corresponding to a to-be-executed task space vector at a current moment by combining an actual task space vector and the to-be-executed task space vector into a null space of the inverse Jacobian matrix according to preset position constraint(s) corresponding to the whole-body generalized coordinate vector; and controlling a motion state of the humanoid robot according to the target generalized coordinate vector. In this manner, the motion of the humanoid robot is optimized as a whole to achieve the purpose of controlling the humanoid robot to avoid the limits of the motion of joints.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a localization method as well as a helmet and a computer readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: extracting first feature points from a target image; obtaining inertial information of the carrier, and screening the first feature points based on the inertial information to obtain second feature points; triangulating the second feature points of the target image to generate corresponding initial three-dimensional map points, if the target image is a key frame image; performing a localization error loopback calibration on the initial three-dimensional map points according to at least a predetermined constraint condition to obtain target three-dimensional map points; and determining a positional point of the specific carrier according to the target three-dimensional map points. In this manner, the accuracy of the localization of a dynamic object such as a person when moving can be improved.

Abstract: According to one aspect, an actuator of a robotic drawer is disclosed. The actuator may include a plurality of articulation components that form an articulated rack. The actuator may include a plurality of pins each coupled to an exterior of one of the plurality of articulation components. The actuator may include a transformer box coupled to a pinion and configured to move along an exterior of the articulated rack as the pinion moves along the surface. The transformer box may include a first guide configured to apply a first force to an arm of each of the pins as the transformer box moves in a first direction. The first force may cause the pin to rotate in a first rotational direction until the arm is fitted into a cam of the articulated rack such that adjacent articulation components are held in a fixed position, causing the articulated rack to extend.

Abstract: A dynamic footprint set generation method, a biped robot using die same, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining preset footprint calculation parameters; calculating a landing point position based on the preset footprint calculation parameters; determining a landing point range based on a landing point position, and performing a collision detection on the landing point range; recording the corresponding landing point position in a footprint set in response to the detection result representing there being no collision; obtaining a preset adjustment amplitude to update a preset displacement angle after the recording is completed; and returning to the calculating the landing point position until the footprint set is generated. By continuously adjusting the preset displacement angle, each landing point position is calculated accordingly, and the valid landing point positions are recorded in the footprint set, which provides more feasible landing points for navigation planning.

Abstract: A dual-output-shaft servo includes a housing including two first sensors and two actuating mechanisms. Each actuating mechanism includes a motor assembly, a speed reduction mechanism opposite the motor assembly, and a transmission mechanism arranged between the motor assembly and the speed reduction mechanism. The speed reduction mechanism includes an output component, and a connection shaft is fixed to the output component. A first sensor counterpart is attached to an end of the connection shaft which faces the motor assembly. The transmission mechanism is to transmit mechanical power from the motor assembly to the speed reduction mechanism. The axes of rotation of the output components of the speed reduction mechanisms are skew or intersected with each other.
