摘要:
A method and system for maneuvering a mobile robot are disclosed, which include a mobile robot having a plurality of sensors, including a sensor which detects the presence of an object and a sensor which detects image information related to the object. Utilizing data acquired by the plurality of sensors, elements of the object are determined. A hypothesis expressing the configuration of the object is then generated from the elements interpreted from the data. The hypothesis is generated by referencing a table in which interpretations of data acquired by the plurality of sensors are associated with possible configurations of objects in response to the generated hypothesis, the mobile robot is moved along a path which avoids the object.

A mobile machine having active sensors for allowing similar energy waves to coexist close to each other. A mobile machine enters an exclusive transmission mode with respect to energy wave transmission when interference can occur between its own active sensor and the sensors of mother mobile machines. Prior to the transmission of energy waves, the mobile machine determines whether or not any competing mobile machine has acquired the energy wave transmission right. If not, it broadcasts a declaration of its acquisition of the right to transmit energy waves and transmits energy waves. If the transmission right has already been acquired by a competing mobile machine, it adds its own identification to a transmission queue, and increments the transmission queue each time it receives a declaration of renunciation of the right to transmit energy waves from a competing mobile machine.

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.

A connection terminal includes a first contact member that has a conductive property, that has an approximately plate shape, and that includes a tip portion, a tip of which is sharply pointed; a base end portion, a width of which is less than a width of the tip portion and which extends from a base end of the tip portion; and a protrusion) protruding in a direction perpendicular to one plane of the base end portion. The connection terminal also includes a second contact member that has a conductive property, that has an approximately plate shape, and that includes a tip portion, a tip of which is sharply pointed; and a base end portion, a width of which is less than a width of the tip portion and which extends from a base end of the tip portion. The second contact member slides against the protrusion in a direction in which the base end portion extends. The connection terminal also includes a coil spring that surrounds the base end portions and biases the first contact member and the second contact member toward the tip portions sides, respectively.

A connecting terminal, a semiconductor package, a wiring board, a connector, and a microcontactor that can achieve a stable contact with a contact target are provided. To achieve the object and to establish an electrical connection to a contact target by making a physical contact with the contact target, there are provided a plurality of conductive terminal-forming members each having a terminal portion, which is extended in a band shape and at least a part of a surface of which forms a curved surface. Each terminal portion is configured so that a part of which is laminated on a part of at least one terminal portion in a thickness direction. All the terminal portions may be laminated at respective tip portions in the thickness direction.

The present apparatus, control system, and method for navigating is used to navigate a mobile machine accurately along a traced path so that the machine avoids collisions with obstacles. Intermediate control outputs are generated not only in accordance with a signal indicative of a distance and angle from a path to be traced according to a navigation procedure for path tracing, but also in response to a signal related to the obstacle-free space ahead of the machine according to a navigation procedure for obstacle avoidance. Weighting coefficients respective for the two procedures are generated by fuzzy inference based on signals indicating the distance and angle from the predetermined path and signals related to the obstacle-free space ahead of the machine. Final control outputs are computed in accordance with the two intermediate outputs and the two weighting coefficients. Regardless of the number of obstacles a mobile machine comes across while moving along a path, and of whether or not they are moving, the mobile machine can avoid them reliably and smoothly.

A connector that includes a male terminal which has a conductive property and a tip portion of which is formed in a bar shape, and includes a coil spring formed of a conductive wire rod with an inner diameter smaller than a diameter of the tip portion of the male terminal and that linearly extends at an end portion at which the male terminal is inserted. The male terminal is inserted into the coil spring while a force that expands an inner diameter of at least a vicinity of the end portion is applied to an extending portion, and thereafter fitted to the coil spring by releasing the force.
