    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing network bandwidth usage by a fleet of robots. According to at least one non-limiting exemplary embodiment, robots coupled to a server collect and produce a substantial amount of data, only a portion of that data being useful for operators to monitor behavior of the robot. The present disclosure provides for, inter alia, optimized systems, apparatuses, and methods for operators to extract the useful data using only reduced bandwidth of cellular LTE networks or Wi-Fi networks.

    摘要: Robotic devices may be trained by a user guiding the robot along target action trajectory using an input signal. A robotic device may comprise an adaptive controller configured to generate control signal based on one or more of the user guidance, sensory input, performance measure, and/or other information. Training may comprise a plurality of trials, wherein for a given context the user and the robot's controller may collaborate to develop an association between the context and the target action. Upon developing the association, the adaptive controller may be capable of generating the control signal and/or an action indication prior and/or in lieu of user input. The predictive control functionality attained by the controller may enable autonomous operation of robotic devices obviating a need for continuing user guidance.

    摘要: Systems and methods for localizing devices using network signatures and coverage maps measured by robots are disclosed herein. According to at least one non-limiting exemplary embodiment, a robot may generate a coverage map based on measurements collected during operation of the robot. The coverage map generated by the robot may be temporally accurate such that a device may be localized within the coverage map based on a received network signature from the device. The network signature comprising a measure of amplitudes of Wi-Fi networks and/or cellular networks at a point within an environment of the coverage map.

    摘要: Systems and methods for improved control of nonholonomic robotic systems are disclosed herein. According to at least one non-limiting exemplary embodiment, a holonomic reference point on or nearby a nonholonomic robot may be determined and utilized to navigate the robot along a target trajectory. Due to the holonomicity of the reference point, control logic of the robotic system may be greatly simplified, thereby enhancing accuracy of navigation and navigation capabilities of nonholonomic robotic systems.

    摘要: Systems and methods for determining a pose of a sensor on a robot are disclosed herein. According to at least one non-limiting exemplary embodiment, a pose of a sensor may be determined with respect to a base link frame origin based on a measured discrepancy between localization data of an object by the sensor and another sensor, the discrepancy corresponding to an error in a pose of the sensor. Pose graph optimization may further be utilized to calibrate all sensors of a robot using digital transformations or may be utilized to diagnose errors in poses of one or more sensors.
