Abstract: Automatic scanning and representing an environment having a plurality of features, for example, includes scanning the environment along a scanning path, interspersing a plurality of localized scanning of the plurality of features in the environment during the scanning along the scanning path of the environment wherein the interspersed localized scanning of the plurality of features in the environment being different from the scanning the environment along the scanning path, and obtaining a representation of at least a portion of the environment based on the scanning of the environment and the interspersed localized scanning of the plurality of features in the environment.

Abstract: Automatic scanning and representing an environment with collision avoidance includes, for example, obtaining a first representation of the environment using a first scanning path, determining a second scanning path based on the first representation of the environment operable to avoid contact with the environment when obtaining a second representation of the environment, obtaining the second representation of the environment based on the second scanning path, and wherein the second representation of the environment is different from the first representation of the environment. The method may be employed in imaging and/or representing a rock wall having a plurality of spaced-apart holes for receiving charges for mining.

Abstract: The drive inverter units that power the traction motors and steering motors of a manned or unmanned vehicle such as a mobile robot or automated guided vehicles (AGVs), industrial trucks or remote controlled vehicles that are equipped with a robot arm or other actuated mechanisms are also used to power the axes of the robot arms or other additional high power actuators (e.g. a lift table). The traction and steering motors can be disconnected from the drive and the motors of a robot arm or actuator can be connected to the drive and vice versa. The prerequisite is that driving and robot arm/actuator motion do not take place at the same time.
