Abstract: Carpet detection using an RGB-D camera and mobile machine movement control based thereon are disclosed. Carpets and carpet curls are detected by obtaining a RGB-D image pair including an RGB image and a depth image through an RGB-D camera, detecting carpet and carpet-curl areas in the RGB image and generating a 2D bounding box to mark each area using a deep learning model, and generating groups of carpet and carpet-curt points corresponding to each of the carpet and carpet-curl areas by matching each pixel of the RGB image within each 2D bounding box corresponding to the carpet and carpet curl areas to each pixel in the depth image.

Abstract: A touch sensing method and a serial manipulator using the same are disclosed. A serial manipulator using the method may detect and localize external torques by obtaining a torque value of each joint of a serial manipulator through a torque sensor at the joint; obtaining a preset joint angle of each joint from the serial manipulator; calculating a Jacobian matrices of the serial manipulator based on the joint angle of the joints; estimating joint torques of the serial manipulator based on the torque value of each joint and the Jacobian matrices; calculating an error between the torque value of each joint and the estimated joint torque corresponding to the joint; and determining a link of the serial manipulator that is connected to the joint with the minimum calculated error as having been touched.

Abstract: A robotic walking assistant includes a wheeled base having a base and one or more position adjustable wheels connected to the base, a body disposed in a vertical direction, positioned on the wheeled base and having a handle, and a control system that receives command instructions. Each of the one or more wheels is slidable with respect to the base between a retracted position and an extended position in a direction that is substantially parallel to a surface where the wheeled base moves. In response to the command instructions, the control system moves the one or more wheels between the retracted positions and the extended positions.

Abstract: Collision avoidance for a mobile machine having a plurality of sensors is disclosed. The mobile machine is avoided from colliding with a collision object by fusing sensor data received from the plurality of sensors to obtain a plurality of data points corresponding to the collision object, calculating a closed-form solution of a distance between the mobile machine and each of the plurality of data points, calculating a maximum allowed velocity of the mobile machine based on the shortest distance between the mobile machine and the plurality of data points and a current velocity of the mobile machine, and controlling the mobile machine to move according to the maximum allowed velocity.

Abstract: A robotic assistant includes a base; an elevation mechanism positioned on the base; a display rotatably mounted on the elevation mechanism; a camera positioned on the display; and a control system that receives command instructions. In response to the command instructions, the control system is to detect movement of a face of the user in a vertical direction based on the images captured by the camera. In response to detection of the movement of the face of the user in the vertical direction, the control system is to rotate the display and actuate the elevation mechanism to the move the display up and down to allow the camera to face the face of the user during the movement of the face of the user in the vertical direction.

Abstract: Image-based trajectory planning for a mobile machine having a camera is disclosed. A trajectory for the mobile machine to move to a referenced target is planned by obtaining, a desired image of the referenced target captured at a desired pose of the trajectory and an initial image of the referenced target captured at an initial pose of the trajectory through the camera of the mobile machine, calculating a homography of the desired image and the initial image; decomposing the homography into an initial translation component and an initial rotation matrix, obtaining optimized translation component(s) corresponding to constraint(s) for the mobile machine based on the initial translation component, obtaining optimized homography(s) based on the optimized translation component(s) and the initial rotation matrix, and obtaining objective image features corresponding to the trajectory based on the optimized homography(s).
