Abstract: A method and apparatus in an automated data storage library for identifying a location of a robot in the automated data storage library. Signals are transmitted from a set of transmitters in the automated data storage library, wherein a location of the set of transmitters is known. The signals transmitted from the set of transmitters are received at a receiver located on the robot to form a set of received signals. The location of the robot is determined using the set of received signals and the location of the set of transmitters.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determination of a steering angle and velocity using distances from obstacles in a plurality of directions or changes in distances with time as input information; obtaining a function output for each of the directions using the input information as a parameter and using a function regarding steering angle, a function regarding velocity and a function regarding degree of danger; executing operations using each function output as a parameter to compute a steering angle for obstacle avoidance and also compute a steering angle for route tracing and a velocity by a predetermined method; and synthesizing the obtained steering angle for route tracing and for obstacle avoidance with a velocity as derived. The foregoing control method avoids obstacles and is comparatively simple, even in an unknown environment without constructing a complicated rule base.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for autonomous vehicle operation, in which a processor is configured to receive sensor data collected by a first sensor of a first autonomous vehicle during navigation of the first autonomous vehicle through a particular location and prior to a control signal subsequently generated by a controller of the first autonomous vehicle; determine based on the sensor data an event that triggered the control signal. A communication device coupled to the processor is configured to transmit to a second autonomous vehicle an instruction, based on the determined event, to adjust sensor data collected by a second sensor of the second autonomous vehicle during navigation of the second autonomous vehicle in the particular location.

Abstract: A method for interactions during encounters between a mobile robot and an actor, a mobile robot configured for execution of delivery tasks in an outdoor environment, and a use of the mobile robot. The method comprises the mobile robot traveling on a pedestrian pathway; detecting an actor by the mobile robot via a sensor system; identifying a situation associated with the detected actor; in response to the identified situation, determining an action to execute by the mobile robot, and executing the determined action by the mobile robot. The mobile robot comprises a navigation component configured for at least partially autonomous navigation in an outdoor environment; a sensor system configured for collecting sensor data during an encounter between the mobile robot and an actor; a processing component configured to process the sensor data and output actions for the mobile robot to perform; and an output component configured for executing actions determined by the processing component.

Abstract: A scalable solution to robot behavioral navigation following natural language instructions is presented. An example of the solution includes: receiving, by a pre-trained sequential prediction model, a navigation graph of the task environment, instructions in natural language and an initial location of the robot in the navigation graph, wherein the navigation graph comprises nodes indicating locations in the task environment, coordinates of the nodes, and edges indicating connectivity between the locations; and predicting sequentially, by the pre-trained sequential prediction model, a sequence of single-step behaviors executable by the robot to navigate the robot from the initial location to a destination.

Abstract: Remote presence systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a system may comprise a pilot workstation comprising a pilot computing station having a display, a microphone, a camera oriented to capture images of the pilot, a network connectivity subsystem, and a master input device such as a keyboard, mouse, or joystick. The pilot network connectivity subsystem may be operatively coupled to an electromechanically mobile workstation comprising a mobile base interconnected to a head component. The mobile workstation may comprise a display, a microphone, a camera oriented to capture images of nearby people and structures, and a workstation network connectivity subsystem that preferably is operatively coupled to the pilot network connectivity subsystem. Preferably by virtue of the system components, the pilot is able to remotely project a virtual presence of himself in the form of images, sound, and motion of the mobile workstation at the location of the mobile workstation.
