摘要: A mobile robot is configured to navigate on a sidewalk and deliver a delivery to a predetermined location. The robot has a body and an enclosed space within the body for storing the delivery during transit. At least two cameras are mounted on the robot body and are adapted to take visual images of an operating area. A processing component is adapted to extract straight lines from the visual images taken by the cameras and generate map data based at least partially on the images. A communication component is adapted to send and receive image and/or map data. A mapping system includes at least two such mobile robots, with the communication component of each robot adapted to send and receive image data and/or map data to the other robot. A method involves operating such a mobile robot in an area of interest in which deliveries are to be made.

摘要: A delivery method operates in a system with at least one server, at least one robot, and at least one delivery terminal. The method includes communicating a request for at least one delivery from the at least one delivery terminal to the at least one server and/or to the at least one robot; providing instructions from the at least one server to the at least one robot about the at least one delivery, the instructions comprising information about a final delivery location; loading the at least one robot with the at least one delivery to be transported; transporting the at least one delivery in the at least one robot to the final delivery location; and providing access to the at least one delivery in the at least one robot, preferably upon arrival at the delivery location. The present invention further relates to a system comprising at least one server adapted for at least: coordinating communication within the system, receiving/storing/sending data and/or performing computations; at least one robot operating autonomously or semi-autonomously and adapted to communicate with the at least one server in order to facilitate transport of a delivery by the robot to at least one recipient; and at least one delivery terminal communicating with the at least one robot and/or the at least one server.

摘要: A mobile delivery robot has at least one memory component containing at least map data; at least two cameras adapted to take visual images; and at least one processing component. The at least one processing component is adapted to at least extract straight lines from the visual images taken by the at least two cameras and compare them to the map data to at least localize the robot. The mobile robot employs a localization method which involves taking visual images with at least two cameras; extracting straight lines from the individual visual images with at least one processing component; comparing the extracted features with existing map data; and outputting a location hypothesis based on said comparison.
