Abstract:
A system associated with handling an object with a gripper includes a sensor that is configured to measure spatially distributed data that represents the position of the object that is handled by the gripper. The system further includes a computing unit that is configured to determine the behavior of the object.
Abstract:
A system and method for detecting the position of the head and/or eye of a driver of an automobile and automatically adjusting the position of the steering wheel based on the head and/or eye position in order to provide the driver with an optimized view of the instrumentation panel and road. The system and method utilizes the vehicle parameters, driver parameters, and various settings to determine the proper position of the steering wheel including the height, proximity to driver, and tilt angle of the steering wheel. The system may also adjust the height and/or length of the steering column in order to adjust and provide the proper position of the steering wheel.
Abstract:
A method and system for automatically adjusting a driver seat, steering wheel, pedals, mirrors, and other components of a vehicle, based on information about the size of the driver. The method uses basic information about the driver's size—including standing height, sitting height, and gender—in a model which estimates all anthropometric data for the driver. The anthropometric data for the driver—including upper and lower arm and leg lengths, torso length, and other dimensions—is used in inverse kinematic calculations to determine optimal positions and orientations for the adjustable components of the vehicle's cockpit. The method then pre-adjusts the components before the driver enters the vehicle, and makes compatible adjustments to the mirrors and other components if the driver adjusts the driver seat.
